Welcome to the Horace Mann Library
Our Mission: To ensure that students are effective users of ideas and information.
 
 

Welcome to the Horace Mann library! Students attend library class once a week for instruction and many students visit the library daily to read, study, use the computers and to relax. The school library program is directed by Colette Weber and Karla Beavo.

We have a large collection including books, magazines, reference materials including online databases, and videos. Our collection is constantly growing and we are able to purchase current materials to enhance the curriculum, Accelerated Reader and for student reading pleasure.

We have eight computers for students to use during library class time, morning, lunch and afternoon recess.  Students use Destiny, our electronic catalog to search for books and the Internet to search for information.
