The Dexter High School library is home to an extensive collection of nearly 4500 fiction books, and 6000 reference and nonfiction books, offering the most up-to-date resources and trending titles.  With subscriptions to a wide variety of periodicals, from National Geographic and Sports Illustrated, to People and Taste of Home, patrons can relax in our cozy lounge area and catch up on the latest current events and hot topics.

Each morning and afternoon, Monday through Friday, students will find teachers on duty who are available to tutor in all core subject areas (including advanced courses), as well as select electives.

The goal of the DHS library is to promote a love of literacy in everything that we do.  Please stop in to see us any time!
