Due to Covid-19, there is a new process for parent check-outs. 

• Parents must have a library account set up. Accounts set up in previous years are still active. To set up a new parent library account, use the following links.

  • Parent Library Account Form -English

  • Parent Library Account Form -Spanish

• Parents will need to make an appointment to visit the library after school, from 2:45-3:30 pm. 

• Parents may choose to email the librarian and request books. Those books will be placed on the Distance Learning Library Pick Up Table on Thursdays. Books being returned can be placed in the Returned Books Box at the table.

Students are now able to check out 2 books on Sora/Overdrive! We've added many new titles to our ebook catalog as well. 

Please remember that Sora and OverDrive are the same ebook catalog. Sora is specifically designed for elementary age students, while OverDrive is not. OverDrive is the original site. The login information is exactly the same. Your account is also the same on both, it just looks different! We are encouraging students to use Sora, however, they can use OverDrive if they chose.

To log into Sora go to:

• Student Bookmarks Tab on their chromebook

  • Find Sora and log in

  • If you don't see Sora, but do see OverDrive, log into OverDrive and scroll down on the main page until you see the Blue and White Sora Clouds! Click on Try Sora App. 

Your login information is:

• Username: your lunch number (or student ID)

• Password: your first name (full name, no nicknames or abbreviations, no capital letters)
