Welcome to the Library!
We're delighted to welcome you to our world of reading! The library supports the curriculum and exists primarily to instill a life-long love of reading. Let's get started!
Be sure to check out the learning resources we have available. And see this year's California Young Reader's Medal Nominees. We'll feature new books in our collection and highlight classics and old favorites. And we'll be looking for your recommendations to inspire other readers with your favorite titles.
This Month
Books & Beyond Begins!
We have links to the program guidelines and .pdf versions of the reading logs (K-3 and 4-5) which we'll use to record our titles and pages. Students: Turn in your reading logs to earn prizes from our treasure chest and watch your rocket zoom through the solar system on our school-wide chart, "Let Reading Take You Out of This World."
