Library

Our library serves students grades 5-8 at South Dale Middle School. We strive to serve our students and staff with current, high-quality books and materials that enhance and encourage growth as readers and learners. The library is a student centered environment where readers are encouraged to learn and develop skills through discovery, research and practice. Our goal is to establish and maintain a warm, inviting media center that greets students with current literature and advanced technology.

Our library is open daily for all students grades 5-8 from 8:00-3:00. Times may be adjusted for earlier or later use if needed.
