Library & Technology
Welcome to the Horace Mann Middle School Library Media Center! The school library media center is a vital and integral hub of the school and as a result, reflects the philosophy and goals of the school and the district. In an age of information, acquiring information literacy skills and commitment for lifelong reading and learning become paramount. In the school library media center, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills as they use a variety of resources to meet the demands of today's curriculum.
