Welcome to the Alturas Elementary Library website.
"Because I can read, I can learn. I can inspire to be better. Because I can read, I can succeed. I can contribute. I can understand. Because I can read, I can live my life without fear, without shame. I can be a role model. Because I can read, I can be the very best me! Because I can read." Author Unknown.
We have 17,000 books in the library covering a variety of interest levels from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade. The library hours are 8:00 to 3:30 pm. The students visit the library once a week with their class to check out books.
The Accelerated Reader Program has a new component to it called Home Connect that allows you to go in and view your child's AR status. Letters went home last week with information on how to do it along with your username and password. If you have any questions give me a call.
Please feel free to come and visit the library anytime! If you have any questions call me at 233-7201 ext. 208.
