Library

The library is housed in an inviting space that holds over 10,000 books dedicated to meeting the needs of our students, teachers and parents. In keeping with our goal of creating Lifelong Readers, we have filled the library with an impressive selection of picture books, easy readers, and fiction and non-fiction books.

Kindergarteners to sixth graders are able to find just the right book in our extensive collection. Our collection is continually updated with the addition of several hundred new books each year. Book selection is designed to meet the demands of our students for a "good book to read" and the curricular requirements of our academic program. Our library is "user friendly" in organization with an online search and checkout system, as well as, Internet connected.

During the scheduled weekly forty-five minute class session, students learn how to use the library and the online search system, listen to a story, have a quiet reading time, work on a project and check out books.

Additional library time is often scheduled for research or special class projects. Students and parents are able to check out several books at a time and return or renew them after a week. The library holds a yearly Book Fair for students to purchase books for their own collection.
