We encourage active study and exploration of all the resources in the library. Our mission is to support the curriculum of Chico High School. To do so we attempt to provide access to current, adequate and appropriate information resources, and to ensure that all students, teachers and staff members are effective users of ideas and information. The library includes a career center, video and audiovisual production areas, and extensive networked computer resources.  If you need help, please ask.  Please respect the needs of others and follow the rules below.  Thanks for your help.  We hope to see you often!
