Students and teachers utilize the school library throughout the year. As the school library coordinator, my goal is to assist them in using the library effectively. I hope to support our student’s academic and leisure reading needs as well as share my love of books with them, so they too, will be life-long readers. Each and every class day is as varied as the students and their academic and personal literacy needs. The library is up-to-date and available to the students because of our dedicated volunteers, parents and staff. It is a joy to serve the students and staff of Assumption Catholic School.
