A: During the school day we're open for Break, Lunch (though there's no eating here), and whenever your teacher sends or brings you (up until 2:45 Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri. or 2:15 Wed.). That can change because of tests, meetings, etc.

Q: I'd rather be inside than outside, but I don't want to study or read. What else can I do?
A: You can work on our puzzles, our coloring pages, or a craft. If you want to draw we have colored pencils and paper. We have comfortable chairs and you may even be able to catch a nap.
You may be able to come to the library after you eat, but you must avoid eating in the library.
Q: What are those velcro lines on the carpet?
Q: What are those velcro lines on the carpet?
A: Part of the library is a Chromebook-free area. Arrows point to the area where you may use Chromebooks.
Readers need room to read and browse. Without these boundaries Chromebook users take over every space and readers are crowded out. (We're tried it in the past.)
The lines a meter out from the shelf are to provide walkways so readers can get to the shelves without being blocked by a chair, a table, a backpack, etc. Please keep the walkways clear.
