Welcome to the Kohlberg Library!

Library Hours

The Kohlberg Library is open from 7:45 to 3:45 (3:30 on Fridays).  The library will close for one hour every day, which is noted in the master library schedule.  Occasionally the library will close early or be closed after school if the librarian has a meeting or training to attend.  Such closures will be announced during morning announcements and/or posted on the library door.
