Library Overview

Library

The library provides a unique environment for celebrating literacy, learning to use information effectively and delivering support for the curriculum standards and student achievement.

At John Hay, all students visit the library with their class every other week. These periods include whole-group lessons focusing on literature appreciation and information skills. Each period also includes time for students to check out books.

Teams of students from each fourth and fifth grade classroom read 10 books and participate in a school-wide challenge that tests their knowledge of these books. The winning group represents John Hay in further city-wide competitions. Find out more about the Global Reading Challenge on the SPL website.
