What To Do With Old Books

Make Book Art

Brian Dettmer sifts through stacks of old books, boxes of dusty cassette tapes, and piles of obsolete maps to uncover the perfect source and subject for his conceptual explorations and sculptural dissections. Dettmer alters pre-existing materials by selectively removing and manipulating elements as a way to allow new interpretations and ideas to emerge. With the precision of a surgeon, Dettmer uses clamps, scalpels and tweezers to recontextualize his found objects and reveal hidden meanings.

Brian Dettmer has exhibited extensively in galleries and museums throught North American and Europe.

Read with your Ears

This is a new reading station. We have four sets of earphones with books on tape. The student can listen to a short book while visiting the library, or after listening to a part of the book they can decide to check the book off the shelf and finish the book at home.

Teachers Resource Center

We now have a teacher resource center with books and material that will help the teacher with their thematic lessons and other activities int he classroom.

Title 7 Tutoring Center

This year the Indian Education Tutoring will take place in the library. There is a special area set up with a lot of new and exciting games, books, and learning tools. Sessions will begin at 8:15 and continue until 11:45 each morning. Each session will last 20 minutes and will be one-on-one or in groups.

Nerds are in the tutoring center!

Use good manners when in the library.

Always use a quiet voice when talking, or reading. Politely ask for help from the librarians. Be patient and quiet while waiting to check out. Take care of your library books and check them in on time.

It's fun to visit the library when everyone uses good maners.
