Our students love to read at The Grove! We keep a running tally of how many books have been checked out campus-wide.
Welcome to the SGES Library Site!
The school library is my "happy place"! As a librarian, I try to model a love of literacy and life-long learning for everyone who enters the library. I believe that knowledge is limitless, and the library should be an encouraging place where students learn, collaborate, explore, create, and share. I believe that collaborating with staff to complement and support the curriculum will positively impact student achievement. I believe that partnering with parents to provide information, materials, and activities will enrich their children’s school experience and encourage them to be actively involved. I believe that involving the community to identify needs and set goals for the library will benefit all stakeholders. I believe that I need to be an advocate for knowledge and information and an active member of the greater library community.
