Library

Life-Long Readers

The 2,350-square-foot elementary school library provides a rich environment for fostering a love of books and reading. The librarian conducts weekly classes that can include Book Talks, Read-Aloud stories, learning activities, and introductions to authors and various genres.

The librarian facilitates independent research for class reports and projects and works with classroom teachers to supply curriculum materials and support. Academic Technology and the library complement each other in teaching information gathering, processing, and synthesis. Students learn how to navigate the library’s electronic catalog, access online resources, and browse the shelves to find books that suit both their interests and research needs.

Tapscott Book Fair 2010

This year we partnered with Books Inc. for our annual fall Book Fair. Our library collection depends on the success of the Book Fair. Approximately 80% of our collection is funded by proceeds from the fair and from direct donations from parents and staff. Books are custom selected to create an array of books you and your kids will love.
