Welcome families and community members!
Our school library serves about 530 students as well as the teachers and staff members in our school community. We provide access to many resources, including print books, ebooks, magazines, online databases for research, and paid-subscription websites. View the full list of what we offer here.
Our library program is guided by the AASL National School Library Standards and the Pennsylvania Library Model Curriculum. Students visit the library once every 6 school days to learn how to conduct research, become better readers, and pursue their interests through different learning activities.

Students may check out the following number of physical items at a time, not including books for projects:
Kindergarten - 1 book during the first cycle, 2 each additional cycle
First & Second Grade - 3 books
Third, Fourth, & Fifth Grade - 4 books
*Students may check out extra books for Reading Olympics and special projects.
Students may check out up to 6 digital items at a time through the MackinVIA ebooks platform. Digital items include ebooks and online audiobooks.
All items are checked out for 30 school days. After 30 days, items need to be returned or renewed.
Ebooks and online audiobooks are automatically returned. Students may renew them in MackinVIA if they are not on hold for someone else.
If an item is overdue, there are no late fines or fees. However, if an item is more than 60 days overdue, we will assume the item is lost and charge a replacement fee ($5 for paperback books and $20 for hardcover books).
If a print book is damaged, please do not try to fix it yourself. The teacher-librarian has special repair supplies to fix ripped pages, missing stickers, and sometimes broken book spines. If a book cannot be repaired, then it must be replaced.
Students are responsible for taking care of the items they check out from the library and returning them on time.
Note for Parents: We appreciate parents' support as students learn to take care of their library items, and we encourage students to keep their library items in one safe place at home (away from pets, water bottles, and younger siblings).
Also, lost and damaged items can be replaced with the same item in new condition. For example, if a hardcover book is lost or damaged, then a new hardcover book can be purchased online or from a local bookstore instead of paying the replacement fee.
Teachers and Staff
Teachers and Staff
All teachers and staff members may check out an unlimited number of items for classroom instruction.
Once a quarter, the library will send a printed reminder of what teachers currently have checked out to make sure items are returned in a timely manner. Please return items you are finished using so that others may enjoy them as well.
