Greetings from the library.    My goal is to get students to learn about the library while developing a love of reading and literature.  Students will learn about books and reading through storytelling, booktalks, and activities during library class. We will learn about conducting research and utilizing resources in print and online.  Our library curriculum is supported by the Common Core Standards.   You can also look the OPALS library catalog web page to find out more of what's happening at the Library Media Center including new books and our library newsletter.

Here's to a wonderful library year of learning, thinking, dreaming and reading!

Please be sure your child has their book on their library day.  If your child is in kindergarten through 2nd grade, they can borrow one book per week.  If your child is in grades 3-5, they can borrow two books per week.   If your child still needs more time to finish a book, they can bring it back to be renewed. If a book is lost or damaged, we will contact you with the cost for a replacement.  If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me at ctravers@nyackschools.org 

Thanks and Happy Reading!
