What's going on in the library?
We are off to a busy start in the HSTAT Library! Students come to the library during lunch and before or after school to read, study, and gather with friends. In the library, we have new books on display, comfortable new furniture, desktop computers, printers, school and art supplies, puzzles, and games.
As the school librarian, I am available to help students find print and digital reading materials, direct them to reliable resources, and support their schoolwork. Additionally, i provide library instruction to introduce students to research databases and other library resources.
