To support the Coffman mission, a commitment to excellence by providing academic experiences, and our district mission in which we believe that all students can and must learn at high levels of achievement, the Coffman library instructs students to:

“… Use skills, resources and tools to inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge.”
“ Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.”
“ Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society.”
“ Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.”

The library staff - Mrs. Grote, Mrs. Costello, and Mrs. Hitsman - provide instruction and assistance to meet these goals from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
The library web page, available 24/7 at http://coffman.dublin.k12.oh.us/library/lib_med.php provides reference, magazine, newspaper, and subject-specific databases to meet students’ needs for homework, long term projects, and personal interests. We encourage students to make the Coffman Library web page their first choice for an information search through authoritative resources. Usernames and passwords for these databases are available at the front desk of the library.

Our print, audiotape, videotape, and DVD collections also support and enhance the Coffman curriculum. The loan periods for these items are:

Books – 3 weeks Audiotapes – 3 weeks Magazines – 3 weeks
