Library

  • Welcome to Thelma Barker's Library Page

     

    The Thelma Barker Library offers valuable resources for learning and enjoyment. Our library is equipped with a wide variety of books and provides access to a number of electronic research databases. We use Accelerated Reader where students can take a test after they read a book to check their comprehension. We also have book fairs every year where students are able to shop for books that interest them. The library strives to get students excited about reading and establish the habit of lifelong reading and learning.  

    It is the goal of the Thelma Barkery Elementary library to make sure that our students have access to our reading materials that are content, grade level, and interest level appropriate.

    It is our mission to encourage students to read, not only for knowledge, but for pleasure. By doing this, we believe that we are creating lifelong readers, who will, in turn, be lifelong learners.  Teachers at Thelma Barker encourage their students to read because they want them to fall in love with it.
