Thank you for all of your patience and collaboration as we transitioned to opening the library for face to face visits and book check-out for all of our KJHS students. I want to extend a huge amount of gratitude to the Kranz ELA Department. Their amazing dedication and hard work ensured that all KJHS students were able to access the library, its staff, and its resources on a daily basis. Your support is invaluable, and it is very much appreciated.

An Important Message from your Librarian...
If you are back on campus for Face to Face Instruction, please return any DISD Chromebook and charger to your campus librarian. Since many of you may have had library books or library materials before Spring Break, it is important that those items are accounted for and returned to your home campus immediately. There are no late fees or fines being assessed unless the materials are lost or damaged, so please get those items back to the library as soon as possible.
Notice: PLEASE return ALL books, library materials, and technology equipment.
