Welcome to the Addison Library

Developing life-long readers and effective and responsible information seekers

 

The Addison library welcomes students, staff, and parents to use its print and electronic resources. Students come to the library once a week for formal lessons and borrowing but are welcome any time to browse, borrow, read, and conduct research. The library instructional program supports literacy in a variety of ways and promotes a rich multi-leveled resource collection that is current and entertaining. Students use both electronic and print resources to complete research assigments. Parent volunteers are essential partners who help run the library program and raise funds for library materials. Please contact the Addison librarian if you would like to become a part of this dedicated team.
