Library Media Center

Our Mission

The mission of the Hillcrest Middle School Library Media Center is to empower all learners to become lifelong readers and critical thinkers who use information ethically and effectively as productive members of our global society.

It is the goal of all TCSS Library Media Centers to provide the best quality resources, instructional learning opportunities, collaboration and instructional support for our learning communities, enabling and equipping all students as they learn, grow, and achieve.

The Library Media Center provides open access for all students. The Library Media Center uses Destiny, a Follett software product as its automated management system. Destiny access is available to teachers and students at school and at home via internet access. A link to Destiny is available on all school iPads.
