Library
Welcome to the Highlands Library!
Highlands Library is a vibrant hub for students and staff. Every week, students dive into the world of stories while mastering essential library and research skills. Our carefully curated collection offers a vast array of genres, ensuring every reader finds something they love. Beyond the shelves, staff leverage our diverse books and databases to enrich the curriculum and sharpen English/Language Arts skills. The excitement continues throughout the year with guest author visits, an annual book fair, and engaging reading challenges. Mid-week, students fuel their creativity and brain power with Wednesday lunch-hour Makerspace sessions, featuring grade-specific STEAM activities. With over 8,000 books projected to circulate among our K-6 community by the end of the 2025-26 school year, it’s clear: Highlands students are truly enthusiastic readers!
