Library Classes: We will have library class every other week. During our library time, you will be able to take out up to two books, renew items and have lessons on how to use the library, search for books on our catalog,  information gathering skills, research,  exploration of genres in literature,  and you will also enjoy some free reading time. 

Policies: Books, magazines and audiobooks circulate for 2 weeks. They may be renewed once, unless someone else is waiting for the item. If you damage or lose an item, you must pay to replace it. Reference materials do not circulate.
You may borrow one graphic novel, audiobook, or magazine at a time. No food or drink is allowed in the library please.

Technology Classes: On the alternate weeks we will have classes using laptop computers in our lab area. We will begin the year with keyboarding skills and move on to Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Internet safety and much more!
Please bring your agenda with you to technology classes.

Schedule: Each Monday on the calendar below states either "Library" or "Technology" so you will know what week we are on.
