Demko Media Center & Library

The library is ready for students and the start of another exciting

school year here at Carl Hayden High School. We just received

over 1,000 new books and they are ready for student use. Our

staff is excited to serve our new and returning students. We

would like to remind them that we have only 3 rules here in the

library. First, students are expected to respect the right of the

other students to have a reasonably quite place to study.

Second, IDs must be worn at all times and third, no food or drinks are allowed in the

building. Of course, all other school rules must be followed.

The library is open from 7AM to 7:30pm Monday-Thursday. The library is open from

7AM to 3:30pm on Friday. The library is closed before/after school on staff meeting

days. Those days are typically on early release/late start days. Also, on most Saturdays

the library is open from 8AM through 12PM and involved with AIMS tutoring. There are

Math, Reading and English teachers on duty during this time to help all students. We

are not open on Saturdays during three day weekends and other holidays which fall on

Saturday.

When students come to the library at Carl Hayden they can expect to be in a full

service facility with over 100 computers, 35,000 books and an array of contemporary

magazines. The Phoenix Union High School District also provides a full complement of

databases for student and teacher use. The databases are top of the line products that

are designed to give our students the skills they will need to have when they make the

transition to college, career and life.
