The climb to the library is worth it.
Collection Policy
Our library book collection is based on 80 percent of student recommendations, 15 percent of Librarian’s research via trade magazines like Horn Book or School Library Journal and 5 percent are teacher/parent recommendations.
The Library has a responsibility to serve our entire school community, which services ages 4 to 11. Children have access to our entire collection. We also encourage parents to review their child’s book selections with them and discuss the contents of the book.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the school community with a wide range of materials on appropriate levels of difficulty that will encourage growth in knowledge, establish a life-long love of reading, and foster information literacy. The Library also provides readers with the intellectual and physical access to resources for a wide range of abilities and differing points of view. The Library expresses intellectual access as the right to read, receive and express ideas, and to acquire skills to seek out, explore, and examine ideas. Physical access includes being able to locate and retrieve information unimpeded by fees, within the age limit of our school community. We encourage parents to please visit the Library catalog by clicking on the catalog button above.
