Library

The CDS library is home to more than 11,500 volumes of books. CDS students in grades K – 5 attend library once a week while middle school students attend on a schedule determined by thier English teachers. The CDS Librarian, Jane Roberts, introduces lower elementary students to the joy of reading through story-times. Library and research skills are part of the curriculum in the intermediate elementary and middle school grades. CDS uses Accelerated Reader, a reading incentive program, as a useful tool to motivate students to read. Students may select an AR book based on reading level, read the book, and take a test to earn points. The points are accumulated and then redeemed for prizes at the end of each quarter. Students in grades 1 – 8 participate in the AR program. Students in grades 1 – 5 may check out books for one week, and students in grades 6 – 8 may check out books for two weeks. Kindergartners attend a weekly story-time and usually begin checking out books the second semester. A fine of 5 cents per day is assessed for overdue books.
