Library
The mission of the Hawthorn Library Media Services Centers is to support implementation of the curriculum while providing a collaborative learning environment that fosters curiosity, inspiration, and a love of reading.
Each of our elementary school libraries hosts the following information on their websites:
-
Follett Destiny - This is the library catalog system for students to search for and check out books from their school library.
-
Monarch and Bluestem Award Books - The Monarch Awards (K-3) and Bluestem Awards (3-5) are for students in Illinois to nominate outstanding books.
-
Online Resources - Each library provides additional links to other helpful online resources.
