Welcome to the Library!

We moved to our new location in May 2004. Students and staff have been enjoying our spacious surroundings. With additional shelving and more space we have room to grow.

The library currently has over 9,000 books with new books being added daily. We also have a large collection of videos for use in the classroom. We have a fully automated checkout system and students have access to an automated card catalog.

The goal of the library is to help students develop a love of reading. Classes visit the library weekly to check out and return books. Students in grades K-2 enjoy story time each week in our new primary area. Students may also come to the library independently to exchange books or do research. The library supports the Accelerated Reader Program by coding all books by reading level. You can find the current AR list on this web page.

Each year the library hosts a book fair. Students and parents have the opportunity to purchase new books. Profits from the book fairs are used to purchase new library materials.

The library is open daily from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and is staffed by two full-time librarians and volunteers.
