Welcome To Bridge Street Elementary School Library
Our library is committed to providing a broad range of reading materials for our students. We believe reading is fundamental for a happy, successful life.
We encourage our students to explore the many wonderful resources available in our school library.
When your child brings a library book home, please remember:
- Have your child read for 20 minutes a day.
- Read to your child everyday- once you start, it will be hard to stop! All types of reading count-books, newspapers, magazines included. This will help them explore their world.
- Keep library books in a safe place.
- Treat books with care, clean hands and gentle use.
- Return books on time.
- Be prepared to pay for lost or damaged books (the full cost of replacement is your responsibility)
Most of all ENJOY!
