Lillian A. and George L. Clarke Library
The Lillian A. and George L. Clarke Library at our school provides students and faculty resources and services for learning and entertainment. Each student comes to the library weekly to check out books for personal use. Students select and check out books and have a story time or a lesson. The library is open to all students and faculty for enrichment.
Project renovations and upgrading are constant in our library in order to provide the most efficient library possible. We host a multimedia center that offers teachers and students a variety of curriculum enhancing options such as Wireless Computer Options, Videos, DVDs and Power Point Presentations. We house one of the largest Guided Reading Libraries in Angelina County with over 4,890+ titles.
