WELCOME to Del Mar's Library Information Media Center.  

The Library is a hub for learning. 
​Read, research, explore, investigate, study, record, listen, view, collaborate, relax, and more.

​Students are welcome to visit throughout the day. 
  • The library is open for students before school, during all breaks, and during the second
    ​half of the lunch period.
  • Come to the library to read -- of course -- but you can also ask questions, print, research, collaborate with classmates, get some quick research or tech help, complete homework, recharge your iPad, consult textbooks and other reference material, or just find a place to think. 

Need assistance?  Just ask!
Ms. C and the library crew are here to help!

  • Use ALEXANDRIA to reserve and renew books. See the quick tutorial at the bottom of this page to RENEW. 
  • If you have more than two OVERDUE books, you will not be able to check books out until you CLEAR your account.  That means you RETURN the overdue books or pay the replacement FEE for​ the lost book(s). 
  • LOST or DAMAGED BOOKS should be reported to Ms. Cerni at the main desk in the library. There is a $25/book replacement FEE for LOST books.  Damaged books are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
