The Collection has been updated and 90% of our collection conisits of titles newer than 2015. With the help of PTSA and Bitrthday Book Club, we have an up to date, diverse, and ever growing collection. In the past two years we have sent $12,000 on new books!

We hold the poition for the highest selling book fair of May 2023! We sold over $23,000 using the Scholastic Book Fair. Our 5th grade students run the Book Fair and choose which books we will bring into our collection.

Birthday Book Club

The PTSA and parents fund the Birthday Book Club. Each student gets to choose a book to donate to the library on their birthday. This adds a book or two to our collection each day!
