Pearl Haskew Elementary School Library Media Center
Welcome
We have an outstanding collection, with over 8,000 books. All the books meet standards for quality children's literature, and were chosen for our collection to support the Alabama state and Mobile County Public Schools' curriculum. While we encourage our students to read for information, we also want them to read for fun, and many of our books are outstanding children's fiction.
