Library / Media Center
Welcome to the BHS Library
Bearden's Library is the heart and hub of our school. Centrally located, the library provides a variety of study and meeting spaces for our students, staff, and community members. Our librarians, Mrs. Heffern and Mrs. Davis teach a variety of classes on research methods, digital literacy, and evaluating sources to help students through the research process. (And our favorite part...talking about books!) Whether you are completing academic work, browsing for your next read, or getting Chromebook help, the library has got you covered!
