Our Philosophy

Our library is fortunate to have over 12,000 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.

A message from the librarian

It is very important for your child/children to read every night. As they come to the library each week and start bringing books home, please listen to them read or read to them. Also, please help your child remember to bring back their books each week so they can bring home new ones! I hope you and your child enjoy our library books.
