Children's Puzzles Needed

Looking to pass along your finished puzzles?  The library would love to relieve you of them. Please drop them off in the library or contact Sam Kane.

As a learning hub, the library program nurtures life-long curiosity, love of story, and information savviness. Our resources and teaching extend beyond the library walls and are becoming available 24/7 .

The curriculum is designed to foster empathetic problem solvers by using inquiry based research skills and explorations of multiple identities in literature. In a risk-taking, collaborative and creative environment, students develop into critical thinkers, multimedia content creators, and avid readers.

It is library policy to make resources accessible to the community in an equitable manner. Therefore, books circulate for three weeks and can be renewed unless requested by another patron. As a general reminder, overdue notices are sent out three times a year. (November, February, and May). While there are no fines for overdue items, replacement costs will be levied for lost or damaged materials at the end of each school year. The Business Office will issue the bill.

 The work of the library is supported by a committed group of parent volunteers. The opportunities are as varied and as numerous as our collection, including book covering, shelving, creating felt stories, helping with check in and check out during class time. If you are interested in more information please contact the Library Committee Chairs, Nora Dunn, or  Claire Schaeffer.
