Primary School Library

Welcome to our library, serving grades K-3 at the Main Campus in College Park!

Our goal at the Primary School library is to help patrons locate and obtain material, both printed and digital, for pleasure reading, for personal interest, or for research projects. The library offers a print collection of over 7,000 books and a "virtual library" with ebooks, audio books, encyclopedias, and databases accessible to all members of the Woodward community.

Need help or passwords? Contact your librarian, Mrs. McMichael.

Ah . . . TIme to Read and Relax!

PS Parents -

It is both an honor and a pleasure to teach your student(s) during library-media classes and to assist them in reading selections. The Library-Media Center is a busy place and we hope that your young one finds visiting exciting and inspiring.

The most appealing thing about summer (in my opinion) is the extra time to pursue personal interests, self-development and READing. Please make reading a integral part of your family's summer. A family culture of reading ususally produces avid readers!

Here is a link to the library-media web page where families can find many resources available to them over the summer --

and here is a link to our summer reading list which is a list of suggestions for you and your child to explore --

Follow the Library-Media Center on Twitter @LarisaMcLearns and access more library information online via Edline which links to my blog, The Road to Reading.

Best wishes for a happy, fun-filled summer with lots of time for amazing books!
