Welcome to the Amador library for 2024-2025!

​

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.
