Ms. Jen & Ms. Viki welcomed back to the library students with varied interests from all grades. Our library is more than a place to read. It's an incubator for chess masters & playful artists; a haven for imaginations; an oasis for making friends. See you there #yislearning

Elementary students and parents are invited to spend some quality time reading with each other in our cozy library. Cuddle up on a beanbag, on the couch or in a quiet corner as you explore the imaginative world of books. #yislearning

Hey @Oreo, @ChexMix, @vitaminwater, instead of practically destroying books for social media likes, maybe donate some books to some classrooms in need instead? @DonorsChoose has PLENTY of classes who need books. Just saying.

COMMITMENT TO READING: Research indicates that those who regularly read for leisure are more informed, empathetic, knowledgeable and understanding. Over the last two years, our library has implemented a program to increase the amount of leisure reading by students. #yislearning
