Mission Statement
The library media program strives to ensure that students and staff are effective, reliable users of information and that they will become life-long readers and learners.
--------------------------------------
The Ashland-Greenwood Elementary library will host a Scholastic Book Fair from Nov. 18 to Nov. 22, to raise money for the purchase of books for the Elementary Media Center. Families, teachers, and the community are invited to attend the Book Fair. This years’ theme is Reading Oasis – A Cool Place To Discover Hot Books!
The Book Fair will be held daily from 8:15 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday, Nov. 18 through Thursday, Nov. 21 and Friday, Nov. 22 from 8:15 AM to 12 noon. The Ashland-Greenwood Elementary is located at 1200 Boyd Street.
On Monday, Nov. 18 & Tuesday, Nov. 19 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the Book Fair will feature special Family Nights where parents and grand-parents are invited to come and see what the Book Fair has to offer. This would be a great time to purchase a holiday gift for the student/s in your family.
This year we are again offering an online Book Fair for those who may not be able to make it to the Book Fair in person. The online Book Fair will run from Nov. 10-30 and offer the same selection of books with free shipping to the elementary school.
