Dear Aquinas Academy Families:

As the school librarian, my job is to help create lifelong learners and to promote literature appreciation in a welcoming and safe atmosphere.

The library is open to all students Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings beginning at 7:45 am to 8:20 am.  During this time, students are encouraged to use the library computer workstations to access AR quizzes, POWER Library (research database), and First in Math.  The library is often used for book exchange, studying or quiet reading in the mornings before the start of homeroom.

Each grade level visits the library at least once during a six-day cycle and all students are encouraged to use the library whenever necessary throughout each day with teacher permission.  

Upcoming Events in the School Library: 

Westmoreland Interscholastic Reading Competition

Students in grades 6 and 7 are encouraged to sign-up and participate in the WIRC.  See Mrs. Finoli for further details.

Fall Scholastic Book Fair

Dates for the fall book fair will be announced soon!
