When Can I Come to the Library? What Are the Library's Hours?
The library is open whenever the school is open! Though Ms. Reyes may not be in Mrs. Ray, teachers and parent volunteers can help you check out books. We also have a new self-checkout system this year.
Ms. Reyes will be in the library to help you find books and resources during the following times:
Monday - 12:30-3:30pm
Wednesday - 12:30-3:30pm
Thursday - 9:30-11:00am & 11:30-3:30pm
Friday - 12:30-4:00pm
What Can I Do in the Library?
The library is so much more than just books, though we have a lot of those too! You are always welcome to browse the books, but we can also help students with information literacy (an important 21st Century Skill), internet and database search strategies, research help and reader's advisory.
For teachers we are happy to recommend books for yourself or your class, provide information and tools for technology in the classroom, help order book baskets for your classroom through ETLS and further your professional development through our on-site teacher's resource collection and access to the DPS Professional Library.
How Does the Library Support Teacher Excellence and Student Achievement?
