The HCS Library is stocked with books for all interest and reading levels. Books are labeled with the grade level, lexile level, and points awarded for Accelerated Reader (AR) tests. New books are added throughout the year. Please check the inventory to see the complete list of books available in the library!!
We offer 2 incentive programs each the school year- the Reading Contest and “store”. Both programs use the AR tests to earn prizes. The Reading Contest runs August through May and culminates with an End-of-Year reward. “Store” is offered monthly, when students can earn points to “buy” prizes. Contest standings are posted in the Library each month.
Small items are accepted as donations for the “store”, as well as gently used books. Any books not put in circulation are used as rewards during the Book Fair in November and then donated to the Mascoutah Public Library.
Students can now take their Accelerated Reader tests from home by clicking the Clever Portal button below.
