About the HBLib

The Library Commons is a hub of student activity at HBHS. Team Library is always available to assist students with electronic and print-based information gathering and finding books for assignments or pleasure reading.

HB recognizes the importance of information skills and the Library Commons plays an integral role in helping students develop their capacity to locate, evaluate, and apply information.  Classes frequently visit to work on specific projects.  Mrs Heaton works in collaboration with teachers to offer instruction and assistance with research and project design.  It is the LC's mission to provide quality library services and to develop collections - both tangible and digital - that support our school community's academic standards.

In addition to more than 10,000 books, 500 DVDs,  and teacher-requested periodicals.  We loan small electronics and equipment, including kindles, nooks, digital drawing tablets, cameras, etc.   Chromebooks are loaned via the Tech Office also located in the Library.

Our space can accommodate 65 students in an environment that is conducive to both individual and collaborative work. There is also a dedicated room for classes to meet and where teachers and the librarian often team up to deliver instruction.  A conference room is available to accommodate meetings or small group library programs if not already in use by a class. 

The Destiny Library Catalog is an online public access catalog, available on any device. We offer access to print and digital media, ephemera and curated online resources.  Integration of Follett's Destiny Discover with Google allows students to search our holding as part of a regular Google search. 

Additionally, our website provides access to a collection of subscription research databases. The site contains updated content, including book reviews, current events and news, study aids and connections to our social media networks.  As always, we welcome your feedback and participation.

Throughout the school year, the library hosts an array of special events. Recent activities have included talks and art displays, a chess tournament, technology training, and study groups. As we plan events, we invite the collaboration of community members in developing new ideas to keep reading and learning at HBHS fresh and engaging.
