Welcome to the Kettering Fairmont High School Library Home Page. Your Library Media Teacher/KCS Media Coordinator is Dr. Jessica Dennison. The Library Media Center is a facility for all students and staff. This facility serves three purposes. It is a place where students may learn and practice library skills. It also provides a source of supplementary information for the course of studies. Finally it provides enrichment and pleasurable reading for all students. 

Our goal at Kettering Fairmont High School Library is to ensure that students graduate as competent, critical, and ethical users of information. It is our mission to prepare lifelong learners; "information literate" citizens able to determine their information needs, recognize relevant information, solve problems and effectively communicate the results of their research.

 

The Library extended hours are 7 a.m to 5:30 p.m.

 

Students may check out 5 books at a time for a period of two weeks.
There are no overdue fees but students will be responsible for the cost of the book if it is lost.
