Holyoke Public Schools
The Holyoke Library and the Holyoke Public schools are working together to foster active literacy in the community in general. It is our hope that all Holyoke school age children will soon have library cards. For more information about how to get a library card, contact your child's school library, or visit the Holyoke Library in person. Parents and students may find these links helpful:

Internet Safety for Kids
The Internet can be informational and fun, but it may also contain information that may not be true or that may make you feel uncomfortable. Parents are strongly urged to work with their children to develop rules for use of the library and the Internet.
