Welcome to the Amador library for 2021-2022!
​
We are here to help staff and students effectively use ideas and information.
· We have over 24,000 books, audio books, videos, DVDs, and magazines that we check out for 3 weeks to students and longer (as needed) to staff.
· The usernames and passwords to the various databases are universal:
​
Username: avhslibrary
Password: godons!
​
· We offer Facts on File (news, issues and controversies,) Galenet (biographies, opposing viewpoints, health, history, news,) Proquest (newspapers, magazines,) SIRS (social issues,)ABC-Clio(World at War, Pop Culture Universe, World History the Modern Era) and J-Stor ( primary sources and academic articles).
​
· We prefer students using their ID cards when checking out books, but they only need to have their id number if they left their IDs at home.
· We have 6 printing stations, a scanner, 22 iPads (with WeVideo online editing software) and a green screen available for your use in the library. Scientific calculators and laptop chargers are available to be checked out for use during one class period.
· Students have access to three printers which are both located at the front desk or in the main library area. There is no charge for printing.
· We sell pencils, pens, index cards. We have colored pencils and other supplies available for use.
· Students also have access to textbooks used by all departments on campus. The textbooks are located in the front left of the library in the short bookshelves.
