The library is abuzz with activities every day. On Mondays, students can create bookmarks and write book reviews to slip inside of books. On Tuesday, students can play board games and card games. On Wednesdays, students complete themed crossword puzzles and word searches for a small prize. On Thursdays, students can avail themselves STEM kits. On Fridays, students can color themed coloring pages to decorate the library or other offices around the school.

The Makerspace is also a space where students can get creative. We have two 3D printing machines and two sewing machines. The bins in the room are stocked with various supplies for different kinds of projects. Each month a different activity is posted in the Makerspace and library interns facilitate them.
