Library Hours Extended
School library hours have been extended. Students can now use it 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Student Council members asked librarians to change the hours. Librarians said the space has been busy every morning and afternoon since the time change.
Junior Laura Berghout said she finds the library helpful because she can come in and get started on her homework right away.
“I can now actually access the library, and not have to sit outside,” she said.
