The NAPS library includes a wide variety of picture books,
easy readers, juvenile fiction, and a collection of non-fiction suitable for
use at the elementary-school level. Students and teachers are encouraged to use
the librarys resources for both research and pleasure reading. During weekly
scheduled visits to the library, the librarian will introduce the students to
basic library skills; provide guidance in choosing books; and encourage and
stimulate reading through games, story telling, and contests. At the beginning
of the year, the school librarian will send information home about the
students use of the library. If
you have any questions concerning your childrens library use, please call the
librarian.
The NAPS Birthday Book Program helps build and enrich
the librarys collection. Students whose parents wish them to participate in
the program come to the library during their birthday month to choose a
birthday book from a wide selection of fiction and non-fiction. After the
choice is made, a special bookplate honoring the child is affixed to the book.
He/she takes the book home to share with his/her family for two weeks. When the
book is returned to the school, it becomes part of the permanent library
collection to be used and enjoyed by all. Further details on this
tax-deductible program will be sent home early in the school year.
