Books and Magazines

The Young Adult Room is on the upper floor and serves ages 12-18. It includes young adult hardcover fiction, books on CDs, paperbacks, graphic novels, and magazines. We're always happy to have suggestions about items to purchase. Young adult non-fiction is shelved with the adult collection and is often designated by a YA spine label.

A professional librarian specializing in literature for young adults is available to help you select books for recreational reading.

Homework Center

The Meeting Room on the main floor is open for students every day after school. It's a space in which you can study by yourself or work on projects with others.If you need assistance in finding information for school projects and assignments, ask any of the librarians at the Reference Desk.

Websites for Teens

Teen Links. These websites have been selected by young adult librarians in the Minuteman Library Network (MLN). The sites are for students in grade six and up. MLN does not necessarily recommend that all teens visit all sites.We urge parents to visit the sites and to discuss them with their teens.

Citing Sources in a Bibliography

How to Cite Sources was compiled by a former Library Media Specialist at the McCall Middle School.

easybib is listed on the Winchester High School Library's ikeepbookmarks.com page.

BibMe offers a citation guide and a bibliography maker.

At the end of most articles in the library Databases, there is example of how to cite the article.
