Stewart Elementary Library

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Elementary Library Hours 8:30 am – 3:20 pm

Librarian Kathleen Bergeson

Welcome Stewart Stars!

Stewart School Library has an extensive collection of picture, chapter and non-fiction books. Elementary students have the opportunity to visit their school library with their class each week. During that important visit, students hear literature read aloud and engage in fun reading activities. They learn to use the library to self-select books and resources for their own reading or to do research for school assignments. Students look forward to their library times and the opportunity to find just the right book. Our libraries are an essential part of our schools.

*We have made changes to our library routines to keep everyone safe with masks and social distancing, quarantine of returned books and extra cleaning.

You can access the entire Stewart Library through this link...
