Library Classes
Library classes are held once a week. During each class students will take part in an information literacy lesson, and then have time to check out library books. Grade 2-5 students can check out 2 books each week; Grades K-1 begin the year with one book, and then gradually move to 2 books as they become responsible library patrons. Books should be returned or renewed each week during class. Students may be allotted extra books when working on a project, and are also welcome to exchange books on an as needed basis. We love avid readers in the library!
