Welcome to The Nest Library

Where Every Reader Belongs

The name "The Nest" Library represents every student who has walked our halls and every student who will one day call our school home. Just as a nest is a place of comfort, growth, and preparation for flight, our library is where students build knowledge, imagination, and confidence before spreading their wings.

As we celebrate our school's 75th Anniversary, we are excited to welcome everyone back for another wonderful year of reading and learning.

2026–2027
"Guided by Heart, Rooted in Faith."

I look forward to growing together through books, kindness, curiosity, and faith.

What's New?

We're excited to introduce several exciting updates to The Nest Library this school year!

A Fresh New Look

The library has been reorganized to create a welcoming space that is easier for students to explore. Books are now arranged by age groups and reading level, making it simpler for every student to discover books they'll enjoy.

Library for Every Learner

The Nest Library proudly serves students from Pre-K3 through Grade 8. Whether students visit for a scheduled library class, a special project, independent reading, research, or a quick visit to borrow a favorite book, there is something here for everyone.

New Middle School Club

This year I am launching Beads & Books, a library club designed especially for students in Grades 6–8. Members will enjoy reading, creating, making bracelets and other crafts, participating in book discussions, and building a welcoming community of readers.

More exciting activities and programs will be announced throughout the year!
