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!
