Each Alamo College has a limited number of loaner laptops that students may borrow one semester at a time. These devices must be returned by the end of the semester. If we do not receive your laptop, a transcript hold that restricts your ability to get an official transcript will be put on your account until you return it. You will be ineligible to check out a laptop at any college. Students should contact their home college's Information Technology department to request a laptop.

The Molly Pruitt Library at Roosevelt High School is the only dual-use school and public library in central Texas. Made possible by an agreement between the North East Independent School District (NEISD) and the City of San Antonio, the library serves students at Roosevelt High School while also providing resources and programming to the community. The library is open year-round.

Pruitt Library patrons have access to both San Antonio Public Library (SAPL) and Roosevelt High School books. SAPL books may be returned to any public library branch in San Antonio. However, Roosevelt HS books must be returned to the Roosevelt HS Library (that is, Pruitt Library). Also, because we are located at a school, by state mandate library visitors during school hours must present their photo ID before entry.

Parking & Directions:

The Molly Pruitt library is located in north east San Antonio on the campus of Roosevelt High School, but is open to the public.

From Walzem Road about four blocks south of I-35, turn onto Ray Bon Drive and take the first driveway on your right. The library’s entrance is in front of you, off the circle drive just left of the big glass windows. Patron parking is in the numbered spaces next to the sidewalk by the flagpoles.

Our District is excited to announce the 2023-2024 Connected Classroom, an iPad (K 12) and Chromebook (3-12) lending program that enables students in K 12 grades to have a designated device for use both at school and at home. Through this initiative, we can ensure that our students have access to the tools they need to further their education and thrive in the digital age. iPads and Chromebooks are the ideal tools for students to complete assignments, research projects, and collaborate with peers because they are portable, durable, and simple to use. 

Checking out a device for your student ensures that they will have access to technology and the vast resources it provides to enhance their learning throughout the school day as well as when they are at home.  These devices are governed by the NEISD Internet content filter when connected to any wireless network, which helps to protect students from inappropriate content while providing access to a range of instructional resources and apps that enhance learning.

Every campus has Internet Access in the parking lots available from 6:00 AM  to 11:00 PM if access is needed.

We have innovative technologies that assist visually impaired patrons in utilizing the digital programs we offer.

For use outside of the library:

• iPads are available for check out for up to six weeks. These iPads are capable of using Siri, and have a VoiceOver function to open up the apps we offer, such as Hoopla (music, movies, audiobooks), Mango Languages, or cloudLibrary (ebooks and audiobooks).

For use within the library:

• Focus 40 Blue Wireless Braille Display, which connects to computers, iPads, and phones using Bluetooth, allowing navigation through documents and applications using the latest Braille technology.
• The Braille Display also converts text to both contracted braille and un-contracted braille. This text is displayed on a Perkins-style keyboard, which makes it simple to read, as it follows along, mirroring word for word at your own pace.
• The Pearl Portable Reading Solution is essentially a camera on a folding post, which brings visually impaired patrons convenient portable access to any reading material they bring to BiblioTech. The folding camera opens easily and connects to a PC using a USB port, and works with OpenBook Software.
• OpenBook software takes an exact picture of the material, whether it be a book, a newspaper, or a magazine, using the Pearl Portable Reading Solution. It mirrors the image using the Pearl Scanner and reads aloud word for word. OpenBook will adjust the speed and tone of the reader, as well as the size, fonts, and color of the text to make your reading experience more comfortable.

Additionally, we provide:

• Magic Large Print Keyboard, with much larger keys than a standard keyboard.
• JAWS (Job Access With Speech) software, which is a screen reader for Windows that works with most computer applications.
• Magic Zoom, which magnifies the screen so you can zoom in to the desired screen size. Each innovative tool comes with its very own braille instructions, which are available to patrons upon request.
