The media center is designed to meet the
informational needs of Lincoln-Way students
and staff as a quiet place for research, study,
and computer projects. Resources include
print, audio, and electronic materials. The
media center maintains a web page that can
be accessed from the Lincoln-Way Home
Page. This web page serves as a beginning
point for all research.
