Media Spotlight: Lexington Senior High School
Fall 2022 has seen a major change in the Lexington High School library space: We’ve taken out bookshelves, weeded many old titles and added many more exciting new books. As a result, our circulation has increased 58% compared to this time last year!
Students are currently rehearsing for the school news show, which will start in January. Once the news show is up and running, we hope to begin a school podcast.
The library is always a popular place for students who want a quiet space to work during lunch. Sometimes that involves getting help with classwork, college essays, college recommendations and more. Finally, the TRIO college prep program continues to use the library for lunch and learns, college reps speak to students and occasionally local businesses use the library to speak with students.
