The Clark Junior High School Library
& Librarian
What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child; that should the community
want for all of its children.

Clark Junior High Library

           The library at Clark Junior High School serves approximately 380
7th and 8th grade students and contains over 7,700 volumes. While many of these are used as resources to support our curriculum, we provide a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction titles for our patrons' reading enjoyment. The library also subscribes to 15 magazines.
    Mrs. Mobley, our librarian, obtained her B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of Texas at Austin and her M.S. in Elementary Education from the University of North Texas. After 14 years of teaching 2nd and 3rd grade classes at Princeton Elementary, she was certified in Learning Resources through classes at the University of North Texas' School of Library and Information Sciences. This is Mrs. Mobley's 9th year as the librarian at Clark Junior High School.


 

He is educated who knows how to find out what he doesn't know.
