Library Media Center

Mission Statement

It is the mission of San Gabriel Unified to provide strong library programs that help students learn and apply 21st century skills, research effectively, and become productive digital citizens who are lifelong learners.

Our library is here for the entire school community of students and staff to browse and check-out books. In our collection you will find picture books, leveled readers, graphic novels, manga, fiction non-fiction, foreign language, biographies and more. You can look for a book at home by browsing the online catalog at this link.

The Jefferson Media Center was established in 2010. We have over 10,000 books in circulation and with the help of Jefferson PTA and funding from Principal Alley so our collection continues to grow!
