WELCOME TO OUR LEOPARD LIBRARY! 

Our library media center is an integral part of the school and learning process.

Our library offers activities and experiences that correlate with the district's curriculum. Our ultimate goal is to create lifelong learners and readers.

The  USMS LIBRARY staff would like to invite students, parents, and staff to come by and visit our Leopard Library. Our doors open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Come and enjoy our wonderful collection of fiction and nonfiction books.

    If you would like to visit the library during the school day, please ask your teachers for permission.
