Our Philosophy
Our library is fortunate to have over 14,000 books in our collection for students and teachers to use for research, curriculum needs and enjoyment. Our goal is to help students develop a life long love for reading. Students will also learn how libraries are organized, develop research skills and expand their computer skills.
Check out Procedures
All students are allowed to check out books from our library provided they have turned in any overdue materials. Kindergarten students may check out one book starting in October. Grade 1 may check out one book during the Fall semester and two books during the Spring semester. Grade 2 may check out two books in the first semester and three books in the second semester. Grades 3,4,and 5 all check out three books each. We do not charge late fines, but students are required to pay for damaged or lost books. Classes come to the library one time each week as a group for check out. Some classes are split over two days. Check with your child's teacher if two days are listed.
