Homework: There is a table dedicated to helping students do their homework complete with extra lined paper, pencils and pens, globe and dictionary. Children can also ask to borrow a calculator, ruler or colored pencils at the desk.
We’d love to help you find information for your projects, reports, but be mindful of the amount of time it takes to get books from our Gorge Link system, and to research topics, and get started early, especially if a whole classroom is studying a certain topic area.
As the Library faces tough financial times, our hours have been reduced.
