Library

 

The Library provides a nurturing environment to all students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8.  Respect for books, library organization and etiquette are taught.  The appreciation and enjoyment of literature is encouraged in order to make the children life-long readers.

 

Computers are used for searching the collection using Athena, the Library’s technical automation system.  Library skills and curriculum are taught according to Grade level.  The Accelerated Reader program tests reading comprehension from Grades 1 through 8.  Quizzes are taken online with the results immediately available.  Reference books, as well as online searching, enable students to develop research skills.  All students have a scheduled library period weekly, but may use the Library at any time.
