Welcome to our libraries!
Each library in our district is a warm and welcoming space.
Each is staffed with a Library Paraprofessional (or two) and managed by our District Library Media Specialist, Kathy Retzke.

Book Fairs take place in our school district in the fall and the spring. They are matched up with Parent Conferences so that parents can easily attend. Book Fairs are fundraisers. In the fall, the money that is raised goes toward helping build teachers' classroom libraries as well as supporting each building's library.
In the spring, profits are given back to the students through reading incentives they can choose to participate in. This year we had over 300 students participating in our reading incentive. If they read 400 minutes they earned $7.00 for the book fair, and if they read 800 minutes they earned $14.00. We gave back close to $4000 in books to our students.
Book Fair profits also help fund our classroom libraries, reading incentives, Battle of the Books program, our elementary book giveaway program, raffle baskets at events and improvements to all of our libraries. Thank you to all of the families that support us with their purchases!
Lakeview Elementary
Team C.E.S. made up of Charli Kordosky, Evie Tharp, and Savannah Schneider ruled the day at Lakeview Elementary. They beat out four other teams for the top spot.
Lincoln Elementary
This team, formerly known as the Reading Rhinos, won overall last year. They came back this year for a repeat performance as the Returning Rhinos to win again. It was a very exciting match as it was a tie breaker that went into sudden death overtime. It took 5 more rounds before the Rhinos finally defeated the Book Nerds. Congratulations to Owen Pinzino, Zeb Davis, J.J. DeLazzer, and Camden Kachel.
