Library & Technology Services
The Pender Library seeks to empower students to be enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, critical thinkers, and ethical users of information.
Our library staff maintains a wide-ranging collection of books, media, primary sources, and research materials for its students, faculty, and staff. Among these resources is an extensive collection of periodicals and research databases accessible both on and away from campus. Guided by library staff and teachers, students learn how to search, evaluate, organize, analyze, and share information.
Contact Ms. Cathlyn Tsirgiotis with any questions regarding our Library Services.
