The CHSW library’s resources are chosen for the students, staff and faculty. Resources are chosen to support the Cranston Public School curriculum and to engage students in grades 9-12. Student resources include books and online databases. Also available to teachers and staff are periodicals and DVDs.
In addition, the main library is used for instruction, meetings, and presentations. There are two computer labs (Mac and iLab) housed in the library facility.
The library LibGuide (website) (http://guides.rilinkschools.org/falcons) provides access to the online catalog, selected online databases and other digital resources, as well as pages devoted to specific student research assignments in all subjects.
