Prospect Library
Welcome to Prospect's Library website!
Three major goals of the library are to foster a love of reading, support student learning, and help students express their learning in new ways. We work closely with classroom teachers to support the curriculum in many different areas.

All classes visit the library once a week for a class and book checkout. The days each class comes are below, although the schedule does sometimes change due to special projects, events, author visits, meetings, or testing.
2023-2024 Typical Library Checkout Days:
Monday: 2-Turrentine
Tuesday: 4-Shramovich, 5-Legner
Wednesday: 3-Palumbo, 2-Nolin, 4-Litman, 2-Segovia, Kpm-Bergin
Thursday: 1-Abitz, 3-Bauer, Kam-Bergin, 5-Tweedie,

If students need new books before their class day, they can also come visit the library at another time that works for their classroom teacher, or right after school if that works for their families.
The library is also closely connected to the iLab (Innovation Lab). Students in grades 1-5 will be visiting the iLab weekly to explore the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) with engaging projects as well as some open tinkering time. Kindergarten will typically visit the ILab every other week.
