Welcome to the Thorntons Ferry Library where all students can read, think, share, create, and grow. The library is designed to support literacy development in meaningful and engaging ways, and create a passion for life-long learning.
Students explore a variety of print and digital resources and learn how to select reading material based on interest and purpose. Students also learn how to access and evaluate information sources and how to apply age appropriate research skills. Library lessons are aligned with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards and are integrated with classroom curriculum and student's real life experiences.
