"The world is full of magical places, and the library has always been one of them for me. A library can be that special place for our children."
- Julie Andrews

Our Library
The Library has over 10,000 titles available for students to check out, and an additional 100 books in our reference library. Each class visits every week to listen to Mrs. Collett read, learn library and research skills, and check-out books.

Kindergarten and First Grade are allowed to check out one book at a time, Second through Fifth Graders can check two books out. Exceptions can be made for students who are doing academic research. Just ask Mrs. Collett!
