Library & Media
Located on the skybridge of FBISD's newest high school campus, the Crawford Library is a hub of learning, creating, and socializing for all Chargers. Students can visit the library to pick up books, work on their academics, engage with creative projects, participate in clubs, and spend time with friends. I'm thrilled to work with our students and staff to offer high-quality, diverse literature, collaborative instruction, and fun activities that align with our school community.
If you have questions about or ideas for the library, or if you just need information about Crawford and don't know where else to turn, please feel free to email Librarian Sinclair.

Library RevTrak Payments
-
Accidents and forgetfulness happen. Lost or damaged books may be paid for using RevTrak. However, before paying for anything:
- Look first! Books often pop up once students check their bags, rooms, or places where they read.
- Hardcover replacements are accepted and may be cheaper than the library fine.
- In general, always talk to the librarian first before submitting a payment.
