Books are selected based on the needs and interests of our students and school community. Selection considers factors such as curriculum connections, student and teacher requests, diverse perspectives and experiences, reading levels, quality and accuracy of content, awards and professional recommendations, and the needs of our growing collection. The librarian also regularly evaluates the collection to identify materials that are outdated, damaged, or no longer meeting the needs of our students and replaces them when appropriate.
Yes! We have a growing collection of books in all of our target languages that are available to students and staff.
As per the Library Contract, which must be signed before a student can check out books, a student is responsible for any library books that become lost or damaged. To check out more books, the student must pay for or replace the lost or damaged book with another copy of the same book.
