Read for fun
The White Oaks Library offers books and magazines that will provide hours of reading pleasure. As students have fun reading, they will learn valuable language arts skills and their knowledge in all subject areas will be enhanced.
We offer many traditional and newly published picture storybooks which we refer to as EVERYBODY books. Our FICTION collection contains fantasy, humorous, realistic, science and historical fiction.
Children's magazines continue to be popular reading materials, so much so that for the most requested magazines, duplicate subscriptions have been ordered.
