Library Program

Students in grades 1 through 4 attend regularly scheduled library classes taught by Mrs. Reed, a certified library teacher. These classes emphasize good library citizenship and help foster a love of books. Students also participate in projects that integrate classroom content, literature, and research skills. These projects are collaboratively planned, implemented, and evaluated by Mrs. Shary and the classroom teachers.

Kindergarteners have the opportunity to listen to a book when they visit the library for story time, which is provided by Mrs. Parent.

Circulation Policy

Students in grades 1 through 4 are allowed to check out two books, audio books, or magazines per visit. Kindergarteners may check out one picture book at a time. Items are loaned for two weeks and may be renewed or exchanged during library classes or at any open circulation period.

Those students with overdue items are free to use resources while in the Library, but may not borrow materials until their books have been paid for, returned, or replaced.
