• Armstrong Library

  • Welcome to the Armstrong Middle School Library! We love to READ and it shows!

    📚 We are open every day for book exchange, classwork, homework, or as a quiet reading space.

    Open Library Hours: 🕓 After School - 3:45 - 4:00 pm

    The library is open daily (M-F) for student use. Students will regularly visit the library with their English class and/or other content areas. If you are coming unscheduled during the day with a pass, I may not be able to assist you at that moment! (Come back during Open Library Hours if that's the case!)

    🚨 Please note that the library may close due to emergencies, meetings, or training.

    Come, explore, and immerse yourself in the world of books and knowledge! We are here to support your reading journey every step of the way. Happy reading! 📖🌟
