Elementary Library
Welcome to the ASD Elementary Library!
Library Enduring Understandings
- Libraries
serve all members of the community.
- Reading is a
lifelong activity.
- Effective
research strategies can be applied to many different situations.
The library is staffed by two full-time teacher-librarians, Linda Hoiseth and Stacy Harris. There are also 3 library assistants and one audio-visual assistant on staff.
Please go to our library catalog to discover all of the print and electronic resources available to our school community.
The elementary library is open from Sunday to Thursday from 7:30
to 3:30. The collection has over 15,000 volumes and includes fiction,
nonfiction, picture books, reference materials, early reader books,
professional resources for teachers, audio books, DVDs and magazines.
We even have a parenting section! Available technology includes a Smartboard, a computer classroom, and several computers
available for library patrons to use throughout the day.
Students in Pre-K and kindergarten have a weekly scheduled
library time. All other students visit the library on a flexible schedule. All students are welcome to check
out or return books anytime during the day, including before school,
during morning and lunch recess, and with a parent after school. First
through fifth graders may check out four books, kindergartners three and
pre-kindergartners one. Parents may apply for a library number, after
which they may check out five books.
The library is open
after school for parents to read or study with their children. Children in the library after school must be accompanied by an adult.
