Welcome to the Library
Our library is a joyful, inclusive space where curiosity is nurtured, stories come alive, and students grow as readers, thinkers, and community members.
What Happens in the Library?
Each class visits the library regularly to explore books, build reading habits, and engage in learning experiences that support both academic growth and social-emotional development. Students begin meaningful research as early as first grade—learning how to ask good questions, gather information, and share their thinking in developmentally appropriate ways.
Throughout the grades, students learn to navigate the library independently, develop genre awareness, and engage in thoughtful conversations about what they read and wonder.
A Library Built Around Readers
To help students follow their interests and expand their book choices, our library is organized by genre. Students can easily explore areas like graphic novels, humor, animal fantasy, narrative nonfiction, and many more. We also offer a special tween section filled with middle school titles that are available exclusively to sixth-grade students..
More Than Just Books
The library is also a space for collaboration, creativity, and community. Students build and problem-solve together using KEVA planks, Lego walls, and other hands-on materials that encourage exploration. Whether helping with book collection and checkout, recommending a favorite series, helping a friend find the next book in order, or working together on a shared project, students take pride in supporting one another and shaping the space around them.
A Living, Growing Space
Our work is never done—because our community is always growing, and the world is always changing. We strive to keep our space responsive, reflective, and alive with possibility.
Our library is not just a place to check out books; it is the heart of our reading community.
