The library is staffed half time by Claire King a credentialed teacher and a credentialed school librarian. Linda York is our full-time library clerk. We also have a wonderful cadre of about 15 parent volunteers who help us every week in various capacities. The time before school is used to work specifically with teacher requests. Students may return books at this time.
Students are welcome to come to the library at recess, lunch and after school.
The library is open to students on a free-flow basis throughout the entire school day with class groups scheduled concurrently each week for integrated skills lessons, motivational reading activities, special projects and book exchanges. Students in grades K-3 visit the library at least twice a week in a large and small group, grades 4 and 5 come at least once a week and 6th grade come as needed. We check out about 20,000 library items a year. This does not count the very high amount of in house use of materials. Each year we host a fall and spring Book Fair during Parent Teacher Conference Week, coordinate The Books Count Reading Incentive Program with the help of the PTA, and organize The Battle of the Books an enrichment activity for grades 4-6.
