The Morristown Elementary School Library has two locations, one at each of the buildings. They are staffed by Mrs. Liv Perry, Mrs. Janet Gibbons, and many volunteers! Library instruction and book checkout is held every week for K-5 th grades. Students in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade may check out one item at a time for one week. Students in 2 nd – 5 th grades may check out two items at a time for up to two weeks. You can always return materials as soon as you're done, no need to wait for library day! Family members are encouraged to create a library account and check out materials as well.

Our December Scholastic book fair was a great success! We had tons of visitors during our open hours as well as during our special event: Family Craft Knight sponsored by the Parent Connection. Amazingly, our profits exceeded December 2004 fair, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH to all those who were so generous! The library uses these funds for special projects, programs, and sometimes, you guessed it – books! In April, we'll hold another fair to help build classroom libraries. Keep an eye out for details!

A special new museum pass we're excited about…
