Student Library Usage
Each week, students in grades K4-5 have a period of time set aside to visit the library. During this time, students may check out books and are taught basic library skills. Students in grades 3-12 have open access to the library. Students may check out a variety of fiction and nonfiction books or use reference materials in the library. Students have access to several computers that can be used for word processing, PowerPoint, and Internet research.  Teachers may reserve the library in order to let classes research for papers and projects.
