ODC Library Media Center “We’re here to help our Eagles Soar!” “Hey, quiet down over there! You sound like you’re having too much fun!” Yes, those are words you might hear from library media specialists Mrs. Smithson and Mrs. Applebach if you’re in the library being a tad too noisy. The library is definitely a fun place at ODC! The library is always open and many student visit with a pass during their lunch time. Twelve computers with Internet access await students as they complete research projects or just want to look up a book. Fourteen thousand books, among these contemporary and favorite “classics,” as well as a nonfiction collection that would make Melvil Dewey proud.
