Our goal for MacArthur students is to create a foundation for
lifelong learning by helping our students acquire the skills they will need
to find and use information in a world of constantly changing information
needs. The student who is information literate accesses information
efficiently, evaluates information critically, and
competently.
The MacArthur library and all Aldine libraries may be
accessed through the Horizon Information Portal (HIP) from the Aldine
webpage: www.aldine.k12.tx.us/

Overdue Notices:

Overdue notices are issued biweekly. The notice
always shows the amount owed, plus the price of the book if it is not
returned. If books are not returned in a timely manner, we will send
letters home and call home in an effort to retrieve wayward books. A book
drop is located outside the LMC for student convenience. Please return
books when due or renew them for an additional two weeks if more reading
time is necessary
