Library
Our Franklin library is filled with numerous titles for all students to enjoy! Each elementary classroom visits the library once a week for 30-45 minutes to check out books and have enrichment activities. Individual classes can also request an in-classroom story/book read-aloud, or have a demonstration on how to do safe online research. Middle School students have access to the library on their morning and lunch breaks; various Makerspace-type activities and games are available in addition to book check-out. Supplemental library resources can also be requested by teachers to enhance a lesson or specific topic being discussed/taught.
