Library Programs

Our library provides many programs and services to benefit both the students and staff in the building.  Click on each program title for more information.

BEANSTACK - A school-wide motivational competition in which students, faculty, and staff log their reading minutes and books in order to reach a common school goal.

C.O.O.L. CAT CLUB - The C.O.O.L. (Celebration of other Languages) Club meets in the library on the Thursday of the last week of each month after school from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.  Sponsored by Mr. Hernandez, our Bilingual Facilitator and Ms. Moore, the club members learn about different countries and cultures through art projects, music, games and even dancing.

FIRST CHAPTER FRIDAYS - This program is another fun way to introduce titles to a large number of students at the same time.  Ms. Moore records herself reading aloud the first chapter of a different book for all classes to access and listen to on the first Friday of every month. 

PROJECT LIT - Project Lit is a monthly, student-led multi-grade book club where students employ choice and voice in their reading selections.  Students meet in groups and lead discussions based on their book choices.

STRIVE FOR 25 - The program encourages all students to read at least 25 books from August through April.  ELA teachers work with students to help them achieve their personalized reading goals to attain the rank of novice (5 books), apprentice (10 books), visionary (15 books), enchanter (20 books), or wizard (25 books).  The school will recognize wizards at the end-of-the-year award ceremony.

SOUTH CAROLINA JUNIOR BOOK AWARD (SCJBA) CONTEST - Each year, the South Carolina School Librarian's Association nominates twenty titles for the Junior Book Award Contest.  Students are encouraged to read at least three novels to be invited to an SCJBA voting party to choose the school and state-winning book.
