martin library
Welcome to the Martin Middle School Library!
The Martin library strives to be a welcoming place for ALL members of the Martin community. We provide reading materials for fun and learning, with different themes, displays, and activities each month. Our goal is for each student to find something they can love to read and a happy place to be.
About the Library
Students may check out two books at a time.
The checkout period is two weeks long, and renewal is possible if no one else has requested the book.
We support the freedom to read, but not all books are right for all people. Talk with your family about your reading choices, and if a book you chose isn't the right fit, return it.
The library is open before school with permission, during class time with a pass, and during lunch with permission.
About Your Librarian, Ms. Squires
I am very happy to be your Martin librarian. I've been a librarian in middle schools, high schools, and community colleges for many years, and before I was a librarian I taught middle school and high school English Language Arts. I love Martin because of its small size and because everyone knows everyone.
My favorite part of being a librarian is helping people find a book they will love to read. I love books, and I believe that everyone can find something that interests them. If you visit the library, I'd very much like to have a conversation with you and help you find your perfect book.
When I'm not in the library, I spend time with my husband and two sons. In my free time I'm reading, walking, or planning my next vacation.
