Library & Media Center

Welcome to the Sierra Vista Library Media Center

Mission Statement

The Sierra Vista library provides a place on campus for students to learn, grow, study, and connect with others.  The library strives to provide materials that nurture personal interests and quests for knowledge, encouraging a lifelong love of reading and learning in all students.

**One of our newer features is ComicsPlus (now a Quicklink on the right side of this landing page).  If you're looking for comics and graphic novels, check out this tutorial so you can learn how to access popular fiction and graphic novel formats and non-fiction through the MackinVia platform.
