Hours:  Open Monday – Friday   7:50 – 3:15

Students come to the Library with their class once a week.  Students are also encouraged to come back often to exchange their books for new ones.

Kindergarten and First Grades are allowed to check out one book at a time.

Second and Third Grades are allowed to check out two books at a time.

Fourth and Fifth Grades are allowed to check out three books at a time.

Any student having overdue books needs to return them as soon as possible or bring payment for lost or damaged books so they may be replaced.

The Library sponsors lots of programs throughout the school year.  We have two Book Fairs each year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring.  All profits from these book fairs are used to sponsor our visiting author program and buy additional materials for the students.

We have authors visit our school each year also.  In the past we have had Eileen Christelow, Paul Brett Johnson, Cheryl Harness, Tres Seymour, Patricia Polacco, Peter Catalanotto, George Ella Lyon, Leigh Anne Florence, and Marie Bradby.

We have sponsored a “Battle of the Books” competition every year since 1990.  Students read from a list of books compiled by the four elementary library media specialists.  In the early spring, we have a county competition between the four elementary schools at the High School Auditorium.  All family and friends are welcome to attend and cheer on their favorite school.

Reading is a very important part of learning and the library’s purpose is to provide quality literature and programs to support the school curriculum and the student’s interests.  We strive to reach proficiency for each and every student and believe that reading is the key!

Fourth and fifth grade book clubs are new this year. We have a list of books planned and are also doing book talks.  Below are links to videos of students doing book talks on their favorite book…whether it’s an old favorite or new.
