    Parkside School Library
     
    Our Parkside School Library is easy to locate near the main entrance of our school (opposite the main office).  Our mission is to promote a positive attitude about reading, to celebrate literacy, to foster a life-long love of reading, to encourage and support independent learning, and to help teachers and students locate and effectively use information.
     
    Our Parkside School Library operates on an "OPEN ACCESS” (flexible) schedule. All teachers are encouraged to sign their class up for collaboratively planned, lessons, to empower our learners with informational literacy skills.

    Grade levels, classes, small groups, individual students, AND parents are able to visit the library and checkout resources, as needed, as often as necessary.
