"Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book."
The Dale County High School Library is home to approximately 10,000 books! More than 8,000 appear in the catalog, and there is also a large selection of paperbacks available to readers. A wise person once said, "If you think you don't like to read, you just haven't found the right book ... YET." Please pay a visit to our library and let us help you become one of the lucky (blessed) people in the world who have discovered the joy that comes from the pages of the perfect book.
"Genre" is a word that works similar to "category." It's a way of pinpointing the content that might most appeal to you. Some of the most common are as follows: Science fiction, Sports, Supernatural, Horror, History, Biographies, Romance, Other worldly, Animals, God/Spirituality, Murder Mysteries, Real-life Relatable, Survival, Children's Fiction series, Manga, Graphic Novels, Poetry, Dystopia, Mythology/Fantasy, and Hi-Lo Quick Reads. We have all of these in our little library. We would LOVE to show you where they are so that you can choose one for yourself.
In order to check out a book, simply present your book at the circulation desk, and we'll take it from there. You do not have to have a special card or remember a long number. You can keep your book for up to TWO weeks. If you are not finished reading it after two weeks, simply stop by to renew it. (Manga books have a 3-4 day maximum.)
One of our favorite things about the DCHS Library is the fact that it is a community space. During break, students gather to chat, play a quick game, book talk, or enjoy a little "color therapy." (Come see what we mean!) It's a little like "Central Perk" on Friends -- only without the coffee.
