Library Media
The library media centers in Hempstead Public Schools serve as vital hubs of learning and support for our students, offering valuable resources that enrich their educational experience. Through increased access to book exchanges, students are encouraged to develop strong reading habits, while a growing online eBook library ensures they can enjoy reading anytime and anywhere. The centers also provide access to trusted online databases and research tools, helping students build essential skills in information literacy and academic inquiry. These services reflect the district’s commitment to providing all students with equitable opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed—both in school and beyond.
