Howe Community Library

Through a partnership between Howe ISD and the City of Howe, the Howe Community Library serves the City of Howe public patrons, the Howe Middle School students, and the Howe Intermediate School students.

Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open."

Laura Bush  

The Howe Community Library provides service through books, technology, and activities in order to promote the desire to learn and grow. As students develop a love of reading, it becomes a habit, providing students with a greater chance of success in school and in life as they ultimately develop new understandings about the world around them. Our focus as a library is to partner with the teaching staff to develop educational technology and research skills while ultimately fostering in our students a lifelong passion for learning. Students who successfully use technology to acquire information are more likely to lead successful, meaningful lives in the 21st century.
