ABOUT
The Riverside Elementary School Library has a collection of over 19,000 books and audio-visual materials. Elementatry students in grades K-5 attend Library Class in the Elementary Library once every five days. Students in grades 2-5 may borrow two books at a time. Students in grades K and 1 may borrow one book at a time. Students may renew a book as long as there are no other holds on that book. Students should bring their library books to class each week, even if they intend to renew them.
The Riverside Elementary School participates in the Accelerated Reader program. Library books are color coded to help students to choose books that will best help them to grow as a reader. For more information about the A.R. program, please click here.
