Welcome to the Huntsville Media Center! I am Mrs. Foley, your Librarian. The Library is a doorway to worlds and information. Students will find an inviting Library full of a wide variety of Authors, Series, and Subjects. Students are encouraged to explore the Library respectfully and get excited about reading! Huntsville Hounds learn information to grow as responsible citizens in the digital age. Please feel free to email or contact me via Class Dojo if you have any questions. I am glad to be a Huntsville Hound!

Library Behavior Expectations

BARK

All Huntsville Library students are expected to follow BARK behavior expectations while in the Library. Students are taught to respect the Library space, all its materials, and Staff. Students are taught that all books are organized on Library shelves and have "assigned seats" thus they are expected to use shelf markers to keep the shelves neat. Huntsville students show a love of reading by treating their books with kindness by hugging a book when holding it. Library classes that follow BARK can receive a BARK ticket. Individual students may also earn a BARK ticket to attend quarterly BARK BASH events!
