Li Learning A special time was set aside each week for the library. At this time students learned library skills and literary appreciation. They were also given time to check out their favorite books.

Students in grades 4-6 read a list of pre-selected books, and voted for their favorite. Help There's a Cat Washing in Here was the P.A. winner.
