Student Checkout and Classes

The library is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 until 2:30 p.m.

Students visit the library during their Innovation Learning time once every two weeks. Kindergarten and 1^st grade may check out 2 books, but the books stay at school in their book boxes. Grades 2 through 5 may check out up to three books, but students may only take one home at a time. In all grades, students may not checkout any new books if they have more than one unreturned book. Please contact the librarian if your child has lost their library book. Lost books can often be found at home or school.

Volunteers

Parent volunteers are always welcome in the library. Library volunteers are an essential and valuable part of our library program. They help to run the circulation desk, label and shelve books, and allow the librarian to devote more time to teach children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information masters. 

If you are interested in volunteering your time to support our library, please email Mr. Carter.
