Media CenterLocated in the heart of Alumni Hall, the Benedictine Military School media center is a vital resource for BC students and faculty. The BC Media Center is home to an excellent collection of almost 15,000 books, numerous current periodicals including back issues, and several hundred AV instructional items for use in the classroom. In addition, students and faculty have access to Discovery video streaming programs and an online public access catalog. Along with the traditional books and periodicals, the Media Center houses eight new laptop computer workstations which are available for students to conduct internet research. Now with the Media Center's wireless capability, students are encouraged to use their laptops while working on projects. The Media Center is open from 7:30AM – 4:00PM every day and students are encouraged to use the facility before and after school or at their lunchtime.
