2024-2025 in the Library
Welcome to our first year as a consolidated school and consolidated library. This year brings many challenges starting with our library full of books! Good news is we've got a lot of it!! I will be working to get as many of these titles available to you as soon as possible. First, textbook distribution will happen the first two weeks of school. Please have your student ID ready. I am the only librarian but I am hoping to get some amazing students to help in the library as student library aids. This could be you! If you love books, and love helping match people with books, please come see me. Many hands make light work. Thanks for your patience as I get the library space up and ready for you to inhabit :-) I am very excited to meet each and everyone of you.
PS. If you have materials from last school year or even from middle school or elementary (!), please return them now so we can start your year with a clean slate.
Perspective is Everything
Got a book you want to read but can't find it in our system?
ENRICHMENT in the library: Wednesdays & Thursdays 9:30 - 10am
Everyone is welcome in the library during Enrichment period. NOTE that I can only take the maximum allowed by firecode as well as student to teacher ratio and will have to close the library once it reaches capacity. Have your student IDs ready to enter the library. SCAN in EVERY TIME you enter the library.
Happy mid-September celebrations
