So far students have checked out 3,568 books, classes have visited 256 times total, and volunteers have donated 601 hours of their time! The most checked out books are Piggy and Gerald Books, Dogman, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. If you’d like to volunteer in the library you can fill out this form. We hope you heard from your children how much they love having library!
