A world of adventure awaits students through our Library Learning Center. Staff assists students in learning how to use the great resources in the center and guides them into books that help nurture a life-long love of literature.
Students also learn responsibility to care for the books and resources in the Learning Center. They get their own library cards at the beginning of each school year. Each student is given a library card application which requires the signature of a parent or guardian. To ensure we can continue to offer the best resources available to students, parents/guardians are financially responsible for books not returned to the Learning Center.
Our library is open to the entire student and family community. As a parent or family member, you are welcome to visit our library and check out a book too! What better way to reinforce the love of learning and literacy with your children, than to lead the way. North Park is home to a wonderful public library as well nearby the school that features story hours and programs for children and families.
We even have a selection of books just for parents. The selection of books includes topics such as assisting your child with homework, divorce, blending families, discipline, family fun without the TV, and more. Please stop by sometime and check out our selection.
