Horizon Christian School Library
Horizon Christian School's Library collection boasts of over 5,000 items made up of books, magazines, VHS, DVD, CD, educational kits and Reference materials.
Newly remodeled by the generous donations of Horizon families and friends*, students can now snuggle in a cozy bean bag chair with a good book, dive into a group project in the new study center, enjoy a story time experience on our "hands around the world" rug or check out books at our new child friendly circulation desk.
Students and staff are able to check out items each week for a two week check out period for classroom or personal use. A wide range of subjects are available to help enhance classroom curriculum and our knowledge of biblical truth as well as many titles for just plain fun reading.
Enhancing literacy and a love for reading is supported by our staff librarian and classroom teachers throughout the year by various projects and contests such as the IditaREAD, Dewey of the Month program, Fall Read-a-thon, Edna's Summer Reading Challenge and more!
Although we strive to have the majority of library materials support a christian world view there are some literarcy resources that might contradict biblical truth and we encourage parents and teachers to support an open dialog with students, building up their knowledge of God's Truth and raising up christian leaders who can minister to the world around them.
Join us as we celebrate the Horizon Family's love of reading in our new library!
* The Library Remodel was made possible by funds raised at the 1st Annual Horizon Elementary Auction in May 2009 and the generous efforts of Horizon Families who donated their time and skills to the project. Thank You!
