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.

ACT Prep Resources

Students can prepare for the ACT and improve scores through local resources.

Student services recommends that college-bound students begin taking the ACT during spring of their junior years. The next test is Dec. 13 with a Nov. 7 registration deadline.

LHS is offering an ACT Prep class starting in October taught by Jason Lichte. This year 64 students have signed up for the ACT.

The Lawrence Public Library also offers test prep throughout the year.

“We have more students signed up than we expected,” counselor Natalie Konkel said.
