Students from Kindergarten through 4th grade have regular weekly library time. The upper classes come for extended periods connected to reading or research. All students may visit the library anytime to borrow materials and this is strongly recommended. Although there is a limit on the number of books that students may borrow this can be altered for holidays or special reasons. The library staff encourages students to have books to read at all times and parents might wish to borrow materials for read-a-louds.
