Library

Explore, Learn, and Grow at the Hosler Library

Our library is here to support both students and staff by providing access to resources that inspire learning, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading. Whether you’re looking for a great book, working on a project, or exploring new ideas, the library is a space for discovery and growth.

Students are welcome to visit the library before or after school to study or check out books. If you’d like to visit during class time, please make sure to get a pass from a staff member.

We’re here to help you find, evaluate, and use information effectively — and to make reading a fun and rewarding part of your journey at Hosler!

Services Supporting our Mission:

Teachers may reserve the library in advance for their classes’ use but must balance frequent or long term reservations by sharing access to the library with other teachers’ needs. Frequent library users may be asked to share limited resources.

Books may be held on carts in the library for class projects. If you have many students (multiple classes) using limited print library materials, you may request we reserve needed books for use in the library.

By collaborating with the library media teacher in advance, together we may develop lessons to incorporate technology and information literacy skills in standards based instruction. Webliographies or a list of websites for student use on projects are available during lesson planning with the library media teacher. Assistance with MLA Works Cited page and in-text citation form is provided.
