"Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom."
Due to COVID-19 personal distancing requirements the seating throughout the Library has been reduced by 50%. If a student cannot find a seat they must go elsewhere in the building or outside.
During the spring and summer of 2014, the library was extensively remodeled. When planning the design for the new library, much thought was placed in not only updating the facility, but in making it a place that will meet multiple learning styles. Within the walls of the library, students should be able to find space and resources to meet their individual learning needs.

Internet Opt-Out Policy
Student use of the Internet for purposes of research and retrieval of current information related to curricular content areas is a generally accepted practice and is considered an essential instructional tool, thus it comes under the opt-out category. Littleton Public Schools uses a district-wide filtering service. If a student/parent decides that the Internet should not be used as an instructional/learning tool, the student/parent may pick up and complete an Internet Opt-Out Form in the Arapahoe High School Library Media Center. It is the responsibility of the student to notify his/her teachers that he/she cannot use the Internet for class assignments. It is also the responsibility of the student to refrain from using the Internet at Arapahoe High School.
Daily Chromebook Checkout Policy
As you know, all AHS students are required to bring a fully-charged laptop computer to school each day (and your charger if you know the battery won’t last all day). This is either your personal laptop or a Chromebook you have checked out for the year from us.
While that is the expectation, we know that at times things happen and you may not have a working laptop with you on a certain day. Here is the procedure you should follow:
Needing to check a chromebook out for the day should be a very rare (if ever) occurrence. If you have any questions about this policy, please see Ms. Pohl in the library.
General Information
Students seeking to do research or have a place to study may visit the Library Media Center before school, during unscheduled time, during lunch or after school.
