  • Does my student visit the library with their class?

    Posted by:

    Yes, the library operates on a fixed and flexible schedule. Students in PK-fifth graders visit the library weekly or bi-weekly for lessons and check-out. When a class visits they have a 15-10 minute mini-lesson then about 10 minutes to check out and start reading their books.

  • What should I teach my child about book care?

    Posted by:

    Please talk to your child about a safe place to put their books so they do not lose them, and so that they are not damaged.  By asking them to return their books on time and in good condition, we are teaching them to be responsible library patrons.  If a book is lost, late, or damaged a notice will be sent home with the students.
