The Library

The City Honors Library is here to support the students and the staff of a very unique school. The Library's mission is to ensure that students and staff become life-long users of information and ideas. The Library is a place where students can:

• conduct research for projects using the Web, database, and print resources
• research college programs using the Web
• find great books to read
• create graphic presentations
• create pamphlets or write a book
• find interesting facts
• acquire books through the BPS Interlibrary Loan program
• become effective and ethical consumers of ideas and information
• have full-time access to a knowledgeable, certified librarian who will help them find what they need!
