Library - Mrs. Niggel

During the school closure all students have been allowed to check out a maximum of 4 books from the library. If your student has finished his or her books and would like to check out additional books please e-mail me a list of titles/subjects and the number of books being returned and I will pull new books for your student(s). Books may be returned/picked up on the day designated by CKS for drop off and pick up of new materials. There will be a table with books in plastic bags labeled by family name as well as a book return bin.
