Library Media Center

Welcome to the PLES Library Media Center

Have you seen our library? A wall of curved windows and bookshelves abound. It's a beautiful and comfortable place to relax with a great book! We have a full array of fiction and non-fiction literature and reference materials that promote active learning and academic achievement. Our library is organized to encourage developmental reading from step-by-step early readers to sixth-grade fiction and non-fiction.

How do we help our emerging readers?

  • We now have a section to help our kindergarten and first-grade students transition from storybooks to beginner-level chapter books.

  • Our sixth-grade-only section is expanding to benefit those readers developing beyond elementary literature and references.

  • Many of our resources follow our CKLA curriculum to encourage further exploration of class subjects.

  • Reading and poetry contests will be offered throughout the year with prizes. 

  • Our New Book for the Library contest will be drawn every month! This offers an opportunity for students to request more books for the library.  If their name is drawn, their appropriate book of choice will be ordered. They will have the first opportunity to check it out. This keeps popular titles available to all students.

Battle of the Books Club 2022-2023

Fifth graders have the opportunity to join the Battle of the Books Club. BoB challenges students to read more and retain their learned information. They analyze, debate, and discuss the books they've read through games, quizzes, and friendly discussions. The club meets from September to May. Students will meet for 20 minutes, twice a week. Please be on the lookout, fifth-grade parents, for more details in Thursday folders.
