Yearly reading programs
Students have the opportunity to read 2x2 (1st and 2nd grades) and Bluebonnet books (3rd, 4th, & 5th grades). When they read they earn prizes and rewards. Students reading the Bluebonnet Books can start reading them in February and they will count for the following year.

Tips from the librarian
Please keep library books in a safe place away from pets and younger siblings when they are not being read.
Books are due 2 weeks after checkout. Students should bring books to school every week. When they come to the library they can renew any books they have not finished so they will not be marked as late.
If the book is lost or damaged, please let us know. We will send a notice of the book's cost if it is lost or if we cannot repair it so that we may replace the book. If you find the lost book within 1 year, you will get your money back.
Library catalogs
Find books, ebooks, and other resources by visiting your school's library catalog. If you need help with any of these resources, please contact your school librarian.
Parent Library Portal
Parents may access a portal to see their child's library records, books in the library, or restrict titles. Visit the Library Parent Portal page to learn more.
