Students and families are welcome to use the library for
checkout and book browsing beginning at 8:10AM, before students go to
class, and again after school, when Miss Pennell is in the Library. Two
days each week the library remains open until 3PM (Mondays and
Thursdays). Family members who wish to borrow from the library’s
collection may sign up for a Library card with Miss Pennell. Family
members other than students may check out four books. Seating may be
used in the library by whole classes, small groups or by individuals.
Please contact Miss Pennell to schedule use of the library space during
the day.
Special Start & DHS Pre-School: These students come to the library on Fridays to sing songs, look at Nursery Rhymes, and enjoy books.
JK-2: Students in these grades come weekly for
library class. Library standard based lessons and skills are taught
through games, songs, and projects. Children are able to browse for a
book at the end of their library lesson.
3-5: Students in these grades come bi-weekly for
library lessons, book talks, read alouds, or research, and are able to
browse for books a the end of their library time. Through collaboration
and co-teaching with the classroom teacher throughout the year, students
will learn and use 21st century skills through research and other
projects. Grade 5 students are also participating in the Massachusetts
Children’s Book Awards.
All students are welcome in the library for book check out and
renewal throughout the day when there are no classes in session with
permission from their classroom teacher.
