- All LS students/families may place books on hold (here's how). However, we have limited staffing in the library so we are prioritizing students with high needs for literacy support and/or students who cannot access books elsewhere. If you fall in that category, please place books on hold and contact Ms. Lora (wordenl@oes.edu) so she knows to pull these books first.
- If you do not fall into this category, please be patient. Ms. Alma will pull books and get them to classrooms as soon as she is able.
- If your student is not coming to campus at all, but you would like arrange curbside pickup, please contact Ms. Lora.
We would love to get books into students' hands!
