Library

Welcome to the Burroughs library, where our mission is to promote the skills, experiences, and confidence that will enable children and young adults to use libraries and information resources for lifelong learning.

Checkout Policy

Each student is allowed to check out two (2) books. Grades kindergarten through second grade must have their book bag.  Check out is for one week.

Reading Incentives

Burroughs Library is a leader in engagement with Beanstack, the district-wide reading tracker. Using Minecraft as a framework, our students log their reading, defeat monsters,  and earn prizes!
