The Media Center is located on the 3rd floor of the shared facility (main building). We serve students in grades 6‑12, faculty, staff, and parents through the expanding collection of books, media, periodicals, and reference collection, as well as two computer laboratories with printing capabilities, a photocopy machine, and wifi connectivity.

Subscriptions to magazines, newspapers, journals, and online databases are maintained to provide up-to-date information on a variety of subjects of interest to students, faculty, parents, and administrators.

Macbooks and Chromebooks are also provided for students and can be reserved by the teachers on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Media Center manages the Audio Visual Room, the Curriculum Library, and the Textbook Center.

Goals of The Media Center:

  • To meet the research and study needs of our students and faculty in support of the Brent Curriculum.
  • To provide a quiet and comfortable place to study and work on academic pursuits
  • To continue preparing the students for the transition to the type of library environment and tools they will likely encounter at the next level.

Books and Loan Periods

  • All items in the circulating collection (library collection) are checked out for a period of two weeks. Any item needed beyond its due date may be brought to the desk for renewal. Special arrangements can be made for students involved in writing their IB Extended Essays.
  • Students receive an email reminder of the books they have checked out every Monday especially when it is overdue.
  • Students are currently assessed P2/day fine for overdue books. (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays)
  • Lost and damaged books and materials need to be replaced or paid.

Damaged and Lost Books
