The Library

The Archbishop Chapelle High School Library is a vibrant learning center staffed by two full-time personnel readily available throughout the school day.  All library staff members work to foster student growth in the effective use of information resources.

Our Mission

​The mission of the Chapelle Library is to provide students with a wide range of print and non-print resources and to teach them to use these resources effectively.  Students receive individual and group instruction on the effective location, evaluation and utilization of all media. The library collection includes over 25,000 books, approximately 1500 videos and DVD’s and numerous online databases, all readily available for student use in the library, in the classroom and at home.

Library Hours

The library is open before school at 7:00AM and during lunch, and after school until 4:00PM, Monday through Friday.
