My Project

Our students love coming to the library and value having a current, fresh selection of old favorites as well as recently published books. They are smart, creative, engaged and can't get enough of their favorite books.

As a K-8 library, we have a wide range of books: picture books, beginner books, chapter books, manga, graphic novels, and nonfiction books.

Every year, lots of new books are published and adding some of those to the collection helps to keep the library books current and helps to ensure visiting the library is an exciting time for students and staff.

Our students truly enjoy the library and checking out books. Maintaining a current and fluid collection has been a big part of that success. These books will continue to keep the collection freshly seasoned with some of the newest and most popular picks.
