The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

#thelibrarylady……….

Parents and Students,
The beginning of the school is filled with anticipation, and yes, hard work. To help support you and your students at this busy time, it is my pleasure to serve as the school Library Media Specialist. Why? Because I want you to know I, along with my colleagues, am here for you and eager to share what we can do for you and your students. My name is Ms. Humphrey. I work as the Librarian Media Specialist servicing both the High and Jr. High schools. Our library media center is an information hub for information seekers exploring answers and ideas. The mission of the Holly Springs Library Media Center is to help every student develop a love of reading, to become a skillful user of ideas and information and to discover the world through print and electronic media. I am pleased to assist with curricular needs to support you and your students. As the library opens during the Covid-19 pandemic, the HSHS will take the best practice on balancing the safety patrons along with the mission of providing access to the resources offered by the library.

Libraries are places of information. When most people think "library" they think books.
More than just books, libraries are places of information, offering people free access to a wealth of information that they often can't find elsewhere, whether online, in print or in person. Keep reading to answer the question, what can a library do for me?
