The Lending Library is a place to find wonderful resources for free! It is available to all Yosemite Valley and Monarch River families!

You have access to many non-consumable items such as: children’s picture books, novels, games, puzzles, and Science, Language Arts, History, and Math curriculum. There are many consumable items that have been returned and are available to you for free! All you have to do is stop by the library to check them out or place an order online.

Before ordering enrichment items please explore the Lending Library! The lending library is FULL of so many wonderful resources!

1. TONS of K-8 curriculum resources. The lending library contains nearly all major curricula options. So before ordering head over to the lending library to see if there is a copy you can check out for the year or view before ordering.
2. Books galore for kindergarten to 12th grade students. The lending library contains nearly as many novels and resource books as your local public library! You don't want to miss browsing these books that your student can check out to read throughout the year.
3. Games and activities that you can check out for free! Card games, board games, puzzles, you name it, the lending library has it!

Many of these items are brand new and have never been used. So don't delay...come in and check it out!

All Enrichment material items purchased through the school with state education funds are considered the property of the school. Non-consumables need to be returned to the school library when the student withdraws from the school. They may be returned earlier if the items are no longer needed for student learning.

When returning Enrichment items, you will first want to know what needs to be returned. You can access your child's "inventory" (all of the Enrichment items you have purchased for them) in the EOS or your HST may send this list to you. The last column of this inventory says "Consumable" at the top. If there is a "yes" in that column, the item does NOT have to be returned to Yosemite Valley and if there is a "no" in that column then that item will need to be returned to the Lending Library.

If you think that an item is categorized incorrectly, please contact your HST.

Lending Library and Enrichment items must be returned directly to Lending Library Staff. Please do not leave anything outside the library doors or in the hallway.

When returning Enrichment items please be sure to fill out the Enrichment Return Form to return with your items. Be sure to take a picture of the Enrichment Return Form for your records.
