The MHS Library wishes all of our families a wonderful winter break full of rest, family, friends... and great books of course!

Winter is in full swing... and the MHS Library has you covered! Students and staff can join in our Winter Reading Challenge, Yeti Hide & Seek, and Ornament Decorating this month. What better way to beat the cold? :)

We're grateful to have such fantastic students and staff at MHS! Students wrote thank you notes to teachers through the library, and a lucky few won themselves a mini pie. 🥧 Wishing all of our families a restful Thanksgiving break!

On Monday students & staff joined forces to solve (discuss, rather) The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, and this weekend some of our book club members will reunite to see MTC perform the play. We love a good mystery!

This November, we're challenging students to add audiobooks to their reading routine. Lots of classes have visited to learn about No Page November, and many were thrilled to see audiobooks given the love they deserve!

Don't be (too) afraid of our 2-sentence horror story winners. Out of many creepy entries, these four freaked out our judges the most.

Today we treated our Spring Reading Challenge winners to free snow cones courtesy of Kona Ice. Each student read 400 pages between 3/11-4/15. It's sweet to be a reader!

#NationalLibraryWeek was a success at MHS! Our students shared what they appreciate about the library & completed trivia for prizes. We also kicked off a caption contest for School Library Month using resources from @STLpubLibrary.
