The mission of Hillcrest High Schools Library Media Center is to create a welcoming and engaging learning environment that fosters knowledge acquisition; offer students opportunities to develop their reading, computer, and research skills; ensure access to the Internet and the Alabama Virtual Library; implement activities that support and enrich classroom instruction; and inspire students to embrace lifelong learning. The library media center aspires to be a hub of collaborative learning, cultivating creative students who appreciate literature, develop critical thinking skills, and show respect for themselves and others.

Teachers can schedule appointments for their classes using the Library Media Center Appointment Calendar. Students are allowed to visit the media center throughout the day with a pass from their classroom teacher.
