INTRODUCTION
Here at the High Mount School Library and Media Center we have a large collection of books and technology resources for the students and staff. All classes have scheduled library time once a week in order to check out books, receive library usage skills as well as receive basic instruction on keyboarding and computer applications.
Students are welcome to come in to check out books, read, perform research or do homework during unscheduled periods.
