Welcome to the Kocurek Library
Literacy Is Equality!
Let's Promote Campus Literacy.
Parent, Guardian and Community Library Cards
Caregivers and parents can check out Library books for use at home. This is a great way to promote the love of reading after school and beyond. Check out the Family Literacy handout on this page for more information. Or stop by the library to pick up an application.
Try a Beautiful Picture Book.
This magical story begins on an island far away where an imaginary friend is born. He patiently waits his turn to be chosen by a real child, but when he is overlooked time and again, he sets off on an incredible journey to the bustling city, where he finally meets his perfect match and-at long last-is given his special name: Beekle.
Nonfiction is Fun!
Award-winning author/illustrator Tedd Arnold brings nonfiction to life with the help of his very popular main character, Fly Guy! This engaging nonfiction reader combines the kid-friendly humor of Fly Guy with the high-interest topic of sharks! Fly Guy and Buzz introduce young readers to sharks with straightforward fun facts, humorous asides, and full-bleed photographs throughout.
Chapter Book Fiction Opens a New World.
Newbery Honor author Rodman Philbrick presents a gripping yet poignant novel about a 12-year-old boy and his dog who become trapped in New Orleans during the horrors of Hurricane Katrina
What do volunteers do at the Library?
The Library is always in need of volunteers for our book fair, to read with students or for shelving books and performing other library tasks. Please see the volunteer handout on this page if you are interested in getting involved.
More About The Kocurek Library
Students in PK through Fifth grade come as a class to the Library weekly for information literacy instruction, book talks, story times, and to check out library books. Kids are encouraged to come on their own whenever they need a new book. Each fall we have a book fair and literacy night in November. Through out the year the library sponsors author visits and guest readers to promote excitement for reading!
