Library Services and Resource Materials
Judi Cox, Librarian
The Cannon library offers many resources and services to enhance each student's educational experience and to promote information literacy.
BOOKS: Our media center houses approximately 15,000 monographs of varying interest and reading levels. Organized by the Dewey Decimal system, our non-fiction section offers our patrons up-to-date information on a wide assortment of topics including sciences, languages, history, and biographies.
The fiction section, organized by an author's last name, contains classics, pop fiction, story collections, and many other types of literature.
The reference collection, also organized by the Dewey system, is the location of atlases, almanacs, encyclopedias, and other information resources. Because these books are intended for multiple users, they are to remain in the center.
Newspaper: The Cannon Library receives the Las Vegas Review Journal.
COMPUTERS: All students are permitted to computers if there permission access forms are turned in and can be seen on there file.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES/SERVICES: Students can print from the computer or copier for free. Pens and pencils are also available for $.25 to $.50. There are no late fees for books.
