Mission                                                                 

 At Taylor Library our mission is to:

• promote the love of reading;
• teach information literacy skills;
• foster life long learning and global citizenship.
• provide an atmosphere of empathy and kindness

Our goal is to be a community space that provides students and teachers the environment and resources where they can access and create knowledge, solve problems and learn together.

Library Hours

The Library is open Monday through Friday from 8:45am-4:00 pm. Students may visit the library to check out books and do independent research during this time.

The Collection

Taylor has a wide range of materials that reflect differing points of view, varying levels of difficulty, and format. We have more than 15,000 resources for students, parents, and teachers. The collection includes print and electronic resources such as picture books, easy readers, fiction, non-fiction, biography, reference, and periodicals.

Circulation

We want our students to know that this is a welcoming space where they can feed their love of reading. We encourage and promote this love of reading by ensuring that our students have access to books at school and at home. Please treat our resources gently.

• Students in the Kindergarten may borrow two books at a time for two weeks.
• Students in First grade up to two books at a time for two weeks.
• Students in Second grade 2 borrow up to three books at a time for two weeks.
• Students in Third grade borrow up to four books  at a time for two weeks.

• If a student have materials more than three weeks overdue, his or her borrowing privileges will be suspended until the overdue materials are returned. Students will be asked to pay for lost or damaged items depending on the replacement cost. The Library buys replacement copies of lost books directly in order to make the book available sooner. Cash (in the exact amount) or checks made out to “Taylor Elementary School” are accepted for payment. Once a books is paid for your money cannot be refunded even if the book is found.

Our Staff

I am Ursula Reilly and I love being the Taylor Librarian! I love to help students find special books, be a part of their discoveries in books, and see the world of possibilities they find here.

Shannon Toole is our amazing, talented, and I believe magical library assistant. She helps check out books, process new books, repair damaged books, shelve the thousands of books we circulate each month, and work on special projects. Mrs. Toole makes Taylor Library run smoothly.
