Welcome
Hello, Brooks School Elementary Families,
I'm delighted to share that our new Friends of the BSE Library fundraising initiative is off to a great start!
- Sign-up forms are on reverse side of Friends letter distributed first week of school.
- Families can also sign-up via online form at goo.gl/fMGYDq.
- I'm happy to send home an additional paper sign-up form at your request.

Hamilton East Public Library
Hamilton Southeastern Schools has an amazing partnership with the Hamilton East Public Library. It is HEPL who provides us with access to favorite resources such as Tumblebooks, PebbleGo, and World Book. Visit the homepage to our library online catalog for access: http://destiny.hse.k12.in.us
At this point in time we direct students to the public library's Downloadable Collection instead of investing in an eBook and Audiobook collection exclusive to Brooks School Elementary. If you haven't investigated, the variety and amount of titles is impressive! Downloading eBooks and Audiobooks requires a valid Hamilton East Public Library card so please consider sharing your card number and pin with your student, or better yet, please consider helping your student get his or her own library card!
