Students working inside Humboldt Junior High Library

     .          The Humboldt Jr. High Library Media Center is where students come to research, write and select reading material. A large collection of fiction books with Accelerated Reader tests provides students with a great chance for improving their reading. Reference books support classroom projects expecially in Science, Health, American History and World Geography. A wide variety of magazines compliments the collection. 

           Over twenty computers in the library and 30 in the computer lab provide students with a place to access the internet for research purposes. Each trimester, students use the word processing program for their final writing assignments.

year, the library invites all students to participate in RIF. That’s Reading is Fundamental, a federal program that helps students build their own home library. At each RIF give-away, students get to select one book to add to their collection. Our RIF dates for this year are October 17. December 19, and March 26.

            The library is also the venue for St. Olaf’s Hoops ‘n Homework program. They utilize the space on Thursday afternoons for the tutoring segment of their program. Pick up a permission slip if you’d like to join!
