Elementary Library
Preschool – 5th grades have scheduled library times two days a week. One library time is set aside to give the students the opportunity to browse the shelves, share book suggestions or check out books. A planned lesson is taught during the other scheduled time. Lessons vary from teaching library skills, using literature to reinforce skills from core subject areas and fostering a love of reading!
Middle School Library
6th-8th grade students have a middle school library in the commons area for students to borrow a book at any time for research or for fun!
Check-out
K-5th grade students may have 2 books or 1 Family Reading Bag checked out on their card. Middle School students have the option to request to check out more than 2 books at a time. Books are due after two weeks, but can be renewed. If a book is lost or damaged, patrons may either replace the book or pay a replacement fee of $18 for hardbacks or $8 for paperbacks.
* Preschool students do not check-out books, however, parents are welcome to check out for them.
