  •            THS Library Vision and Mission Statement    

    Vision

    The vision of the Tarrant City Schools’ Library Program is to develop independent thinkers and lifelong learners. Students that are college and/or career ready and able to actively contribute to our global society.

    Mission

    Tarrant City Schools Library strives to promote the American Association of School Librarians Framework in order to ensure that all students are curious, inquisitive, innovative, and creative individuals who are college and/or career ready.

  • The Tarrant High School Library is a dynamic hub of learning, creativity, and innovation, extending beyond the classroom to inspire and empower our school community. Committed to preparing students for successful futures, the library equips them with essential 21st-century skills that enrich their everyday lives. Our goal is to foster a community-centered environment where students can grow into responsible, lifelong learners.

    We provide access to a diverse collection of books, digital resources, and cutting-edge tools that support academic growth and curiosity. More than just a place for books, the library is a collaborative space where students can research, explore new ideas, and expand their knowledge in a welcoming and supportive setting.

    Serving students in grades 7–12, the THS Library offers a flexible schedule to accommodate as many patrons as possible throughout the school day. Teachers are encouraged to reserve library time for their classes, and students are always welcome to visit when they can.
