The St. John Learning Center supports the overall mission of the school by assisting students to be effective and independent users of information and by helping them to develop a life-long appreciation of literature. Literature appreciation is encouraged through read-alouds, book talks, story telling as well as through author and illustrator studies. Library skills and research skills are encouraged through hands-on practice and curriculum integration.

In addition to a well equipped computer lab on the first floor and a mobile cart with laptops, there are four networked computer stations in the Learning Center for student use. These stations are used for Quick Search Library, online research, and for taking Accelerated Reader Quizzes.

Volunteers are always needed and appreciated in our Learning Center. Jobs include shelving books and cleaning them when necessary, electronically scanning books for checking them in or out, and if interested, reading books to the students.
