                        Objectives of the library: The O. Henry library strives to be the heart of the school community. Through providing high interest titles in multiple genres, the library encourages students to become pleasure readers, thereby increasing students' literacy skills as they entertain themselves. The library also provides access to a variety of resources, including the Internet, databases, and reference works. The librarian teaches research skills and works closely with students and teachers, enabling them to make the most of these resources available to all.
