News from the Davis Library Media Center
Fifth Graders have begun visiting the Davis Library Makerspace this week!
What is a makerspace?? Check THIS out.
Reading is KEY at Davis!!
All students are spending one block in the Library Media Center this week and next to learn all their library has to offer them! But your child can also come to the library throughout the day.
The library is open 7:45-8:10 with a pass from their Zero Hour teacher, 8:15-3:30 with a pass from class, and 3:30-3:45 on their own! Does your child want to stay longer?? The library is open until 4:15 every Tuesday.
