Welcome Back!

- 47 classes came in for check out
- 3,448 items were checked out
We Are Transforming!
The library is currently under renovation to add an instructional area and improve the layout of the library. A Smart Board will be installed in the area where a gazebo was previously standing. This area will also serve as a reading and library centers space.
New Fiction Section
Shelf removed to make access easier to new computers and the relocated fiction section.
New Multi-Use Area
Gazebo removed to transform area to a multi-purpose area. A Smart Board will be installed on the wall.
Relocated Fiction Area
Fiction books were relocated from the area by the gazebo to the area by the computers.
Genre What?
In the process of relocating the fiction books all of the books were put into genres. The books are divided into ten different genres. Putting the fiction books into genres makes it easier for the students to find their just right books.
