Welcome to the Giddings High School Library
Together with teachers and administrators, the GMSHS library staff works to meet the educational needs of all students. By providing a flexible, open-access library learning environment, with a diverse collection of print and electronic resources, instruction takes the form of developing information literacy skills with application in curricular objectives. We also want to take this opportunity to not only invite all students to check out books, but to stay and read awhile.
"What a school thinks about a library is a measure of what it thinks about education."
~Harold Howe, former US Commissioner of Education
