Upon completion the library will be networked to the classrooms and the staff and students will be able to search the library from their classrooms. The Accelerated Reader is a computer-based reading incentive program which has been funded by the B.E.S.T. organization. Students select a book from a list of over 800 titles, read it and then and use computers to test their reading comprehension. Students who successfully pass five tests are treated to an ice cream party in June. Parents are welcome to request a list of the books on the Accelerated Reader from the library.
Copies are also available at the town libraries.
We are currently in the process of adding titles to our current data base. We rely heavily on volunteers to help the students and staff with research, checking books in and out, shelving books and preparing new books for circulation. Our Volunteers all do an outstanding job and we appreciate their support. Please call Dorothy Patch if you are interested in volunteering.
