![]() The Milpitas High School Library reopened this fall with extended hours, new flexible and inviting furniture, and novel opportunities for students and staff. At the beginning of the year, old books which had not been checked out in over ten years were weeded and given away to community members or donated to the Friends of the Milpitas Public Library. This created space to welcome hundreds of contemporary, popular, and award-winning books and carve out new sections–including College and Career, Graphic Novels, Manga, Quick Reads, and World Languages–refreshing the collection and making it easier to navigate. To reconnect with the community, the Library has relaunched Friends of the MHS Library, Instagram, and our website. We reinstated our partnership with the Milpitas Library so all members of MUSD have public library e-accounts. We also host a monthly breakfast for staff and set-up a coffee bar for daily use. The Library has offered an array of new programs including the Tournament of Books (8 new books that the MHS community is invited to read this year to vote on their favorite), a Halloween Book Nook contest, National Novel Writing Month co-sponsored by the Arras Periodical and One Long Story student clubs, 12 Days of Book Bliss, vision boarding, and more to come–including an author visit this spring! We also host numerous club meetings and the study rooms are utilized for study groups, audio or video recording, and more. In addition to College and Career presentations and use of the Library for large-group meetings, the Library offers class visits including a library orientation scavenger hunt, a genre personality test, book talks, research, and media-making challenges sponsored by KQED–with so much more to come! Please check out the Library–which is also home to our College and Careet Center! We are now open weekdays from 7:45 AM - 4:45 PM. Become a Friend of the MHS Library. Follow us on Instagram. Reach out to the Librarian Mia Gittlen at [email protected] with any questions or ideas! Comments are closed.
