Library

The goal of the Keeley library is to foster a love of reading and to create lifelong learners who can navigate the modern digital world. We grow our readers in first grade through fifth grade by allowing the students to come every day to check out books from our large collection. In addition, each class comes once a week for a lesson. Library is no longer just about "listening to a story each week." Students learn to make inferences and predictions, analyze the parts of a story such as setting, character and plot, as well as make comparisons with other stories and/or information they have read. Students are taught digital literacy skills such as online safety, website evaluation and database searches to help them navigate our current world.

Library information

Accelerated reader

Keeley has great success with the AR program and we consider it to be a highly effective program for motivating students to read. The program gives students instant feedback when comprehension tests are taken. Reading logs are maintained for the students to record books that are read and tests taken.

Just a reminder also that ebooks are available in Tumblebooks, myON and in our library catalog. If you have any issues accessing these resources, please email Julie Riland. 

Spring bookfair success

Keeley had a very successful book fair thanks to all of our students, parents, and community. The profits from the book fair have allowed us to purchase more books and materials for the library. The Keeley community is the best and we really appreciate your support. 

Reading and Literacy

Keeley's librarian, Mrs. Riland, spends at least 25 minutes a class reading to students or teaching reading related activities.
