PES Library
"I cannot live without books." -Thomas Jefferson
Welcome to the Phippsburg Elementary School Library in Phippsburg, Maine!
School Library Education Technician III, Romy Polizotto
What an AMAZING visit we had with Author/Ilustrator Kevin Hawkes! Thank you so much for visiting PES!
Kevin Hawkes signs copies of his books for students a PES! (April 9, 2024).
The END of the School Year is upon us! The week of May 20, 2024 will be the last time students will check books out! This is a reminder to bring ALL your library books back by June 6, 2024. Lost/Missing book fees will start being issued on June 1, 2024. This will give families time to locate or replace missing books before school ends.
Summer Reading 2024!
