Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky.
My pile of books
Are a mile high.
How I love them!
How I need them!
I'll have a long beard
By the time I read them.

The Wiegand Media Center, located on the top floor
of our school, is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:00-3:00,
and Tuesday from 8:00-11:30. Thanks to a grant received from the
Wiegand foundation in 2002, our 6000-volume library collection has been
joined by a computer lab with 15 workstations and a smartboard,
transforming our school library into a true media center.
Each class visits the media center at least once a
week. During “library class” students are introduced to various authors
and illustrators, genres, new books, and information literacy skills.
Students in the younger grades check out one book each week and older
students may check out two books. Students may check out additional
books for “AR” and for special projects they’re working on. Parents are
very welcome to use our media center! If you have any questions or want
to check availability of a specific book, feel free to e-mail Cindy
