The library provides a quiet atmosphere where students are welcome to read, study and do research. Hours are from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM daily. The library is staffed with a full time Documentation Technician and a part time Professional Librarian. Together the library staff ensures that students have access to the highest quality resources and services. This includes instruction to develop students’ understanding of 21st century research, as well as the fostering of a lifelong appreciation of storytelling and reading through creative library programming. Parent or guardian volunteers also contribute to the library, helping with a variety of tasks and by guaranteeing that the library is rarely closed.
