The Hornell High School Library provides physical and virtual space for students to read for pleasure, focus on class assignments, and conduct research on topics of personal or academic interest. Our maker space projects, arts & crafts, puzzles, and games allow students to explore their creativity and build bonds with others through friendly competition. Time spent in our library builds a sense of academic commitment, community and pride while allowing for individual choice and exploration.

Library Policies

Circulation Policy

Students may exchange their books daily. They may keep their books for up to two weeks before they must be renewed or returned.

Overdue/Lost Book Policy

Our library depends on the ethical character of our students. Resources provided are shared by the school community and are expected to be kept in good condition, returned promptly and/or replaced if lost or damaged so that others are not deprived of their use. Students with multiple overdue resources will not be allowed to borrow new titles.
