Library Schedule

Library classes are taught every day from 8:15 – 11:00.

During weekly library lessons, students will participate in a variety of activities designed to support literacy, research, and responsible technology use. Lessons include time for book browsing and checkout, instruction in research and information-seeking skills, and activities that strengthen reading comprehension and a love of reading. Students will also receive guidance in digital citizenship and technology skills, learning how to use digital tools safely, responsibly, and effectively for learning.

Open access is available every day from 7:45 – 8:15 and from 12:00 – 2:35.

Open access provides students with access to the library outside of their scheduled class time and may be used for checking out books, research, or technology assistance.

The library is closed from 11:00 – 12:00 each day.
