Welcome to Oak Hills Junior High Library!
My name is Dr. Janet Fick and with 38 years of professional experience in education, I am proud to be the librarian at Oak Hills Junior High. My education includes a Bachelor of Science in Special Education, a Master of Library Science, a Master of Educational Leadership, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. My husband and I have lived in Montgomery for over 25 years. Along with reading, I enjoy watching movies, petting my cat - Fiver, and spending time with my grandchildren.
Students read and bike at the same time!

6th grade students at OHJH are invited to attend the OHJH Read Aloud Lunch Club. During A lunch, students will take their lunches to the library to eat and listen to Dr. Fick read the book, Harbor Me. The Read Aloud Lunch Club will begin meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 26 and will continue meeting until the book is finished. The summary of the book is below.
It all starts when six kids are sent to a room at school for a weekly chat - by themselves, with no adults to listen in. They name the room room the ARTT Room (short for "A Room to Talk"), and discover it's safe to talk about what's bothering them--everything from Esteban's father's deportation and Haley's father's incarceration to Amari's fears of racial profiling and Ashton's adjustment to his changing family fortunes. They share a deep desire for family history and a sense of belonging. When the six are together, they can express the feelings and fears they have to hide from the rest of the world. And together, they can grow braver and more ready for the rest of their lives.
A teenager suffering from depression attempts suicide and ends up in Lakeview Hospital. Her struggle to find courage and strength is fragile. The focus is not on the suicide, but the recovery.
In the summer of 1984, Ebony-Grace leaves her mother and grandfather in Huntsville, Alabama to visit her father in Harlem. She sees Harlem as if it was a different planet. Her imagination helps her cope as she spends time in the city.
This memoir recounts the story of Rena Finder who was forced into the ghetto in Krakow, Poland at age eleven. She suffered the horrors of starvation, beatings, and witnessed countless murders. Rena tells of her survival through the kindness and generosity of Oskar and Emilie Schindler.
