Each child will check out one book for the first semester. For the spring semester, students may choose two books. The books will come home in a plastic bag with the child’s name and a barcode. We ask that parents and students make sure that the bag is returned with the book.
The importance of reading
If a child reads for 20 minutes every day, they are exposed to about 1.8 million words of text every year. That is 137 new words per minute!
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.
