UAS Elementary LibraryLibrarian: Leslie Baker Library assistant: May Sannan
Hours: Sun/Mon 7:45-4:15, Tues 7:45-3:25, Weds/Thurs 7:45-4:15We integrate our lessons with each grade level’s Unit of Inquiry,
and teach and reinforce a love of reading and a passion for gathering and synthesizing information. We encourage students to explore and share their “reading lives” by learning about themselves as readers.
Parents can open a library account and may check up to five books at a time.
The library will be open after school until 4:15 every day except Tuesday (and also closed if the librarian is absent). Any students visiting the library after school must be accompanied and supervised by a parent. Enjoy some quiet family reading time!
If you are interested in being a weekly library volunteer, contact Leslie Baker at [email protected] or come by and visit. It is a fun way to work with students!
