Welcome to the HDHS Library
The library can be accessed by students to loan out books during the following times Monday to Friday:
The HDHS school library contributes to educational attainment and skills for life by providing a welcoming and well-organised environment in which HDHS staff can teach, HDHS pupils can learn and reading for pleasure and purpose can be enjoyed by all. The HDHS Library in KZ is a vibrant hub that enhances and supports learning across the curriculum. It offers a welcoming environment for HDHS students who are looking for a place to read, relax and retreat momentarily from the rigours of the school day.
Our student librarians work closely with the HDHS team to promote a love of reading. They are trained to use the library systems and support with loaning out books, stocking shelves and keeping the library area presentable.
Reading not only educates, but is relaxing and allows you to feed your imagination –
creating beautiful pictures from carefully chosen words.

This means you are going to receive a book of your choice from a selection of 17 titles. We hope that you will enjoy the process of choosing the book as well as the book itself.
