Summer break is here and it’s the best time to catch up on some leisure reading.
Studies have shown that reading can significantly impact student achievement. To ensure your year-long access to books, explore our library collection and borrow books throughout the summer break. Visit the Online Library and browse through the Grade School, Junior High School, and Senior High School collections. Or better yet, come and visit the on-site library, which is open from Monday to Friday, from 8AM to 3PM.
