Media Centers

Inspiring Readers, Researchers, and Lifelong Learners

At Edina Public Schools, every school has a media center where students and teachers come together to read, research, and explore. With a range of books, information, and digital resources, our media centers foster literacy and learning. We’re proud to be among the few districts in Minnesota with a dedicated media specialist in every school. Explore your school’s media center below.
