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 any students visit the library daily to read, study, and check out books. The school library program is directed by Shannon Leonard.

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


We have four computers for students to use for school work and to access Destiny, our electronic catalog during library class time, morning, lunch and afternoon recess.
