Our school library has various materials to offer your student. There is something for everyone, from beginners to advanced readers. From popular graphic novel style books to informative and interesting factual books, our shelves hold publications that nurture a love for reading. Many books are quite popular, and can be put on reserve at your student’s request. The library also encourages student’s feedback and what they would like to see available.
Library Privileges:
All currently registered students and CRC staff have access to borrow from the library, and books are available for classroom use. If a book is lost, student’s borrowing privileges will be returned once the book has been found or paid for.
Library Obligations:
Students are responsible for the care of the items they check out. Using good book care practices such as using a bookmark instead of bending pages, protecting the spine by holding books correctly, and informing the Library Technician of any needed repairs will ensure that many students can enjoy the same book. Always keep books in your backpack or desk when not being read.
