Welcome to the Library

The IHM Library is a focal point through which integrated and multi-disciplinary learning takes place. It is an extension of the child’s classroom.

This fully automated media center is an open library with scheduled time for each class during the week. The library program includes instruction in the use of library resources and skills, including on-line research tools, appreciation of literature, book talks, library skills games, Accelerated Reader testing and actual practice in individual library/research skills. In addition to a scheduled library class, middle school students also come to the library for a Study Skills Class, including an SSAT prep class for 8th graders.

The IHM Library has more than 32,000 books, periodicals and audio-visual materials, with 16 computers for student use.  There is a Spanish-language section, a Parent Corner, and a Religion and Spirituality section for adults. 

Parents are always welcome to visit the library and check out books for themselves or for any of their children.
