Paul Stoddard Library
The Paul Stoddard Library at HVRHS provides a respectful environment in which all patrons- students, staff, and members of the community- can engage in independent and collaborative inquiry through numerous resources that are diverse with regards to media, rigor, and perspective.
The Paul Stoddard Library is open to students, staff, and faculty from 7:40 AM until 3:30 PM on school days. We are happy to provide service to the community by appointment. Please call the library staff at extensions 1181 and 1185 for help getting materials. We offer curriculum-based print, electronic, and audio-visual media and equipment.
