Welcome to Our Library!

McHarg Elementary School Library has over 10,000 items including books, videotapes, books on tape, CD's and other audiovisual materials. These materials are available for check-out by students and teachers.

The library is open each day from 8:30-3:30. All PreSchool-Third grade classes visit the library each week. Instruction is given on literature appreciation, library skills, and research strategies. During non-instruction times the library is open for additional check outs and Accelerated Reader (AR) testing.

The mission of the library is to provide materials, which implement, enrich, and support our educational program. The center strives to develop students into lifelong readers and users of information by:

• Promoting reading and literature appreciation

• Teaching information literacy skills

• Providing access to intellectual resources

• Fostering critical thinking and independent learning

Our library is staffed by Mrs. Lisa Buckner, Media Specialist.
