Library

Equipped with an amphitheater-like story time area, comfortable reading spots and a classroom space, Woodley’s library is both spacious and inviting. The librarian introduces library skills and good character traits while reinforcing reading comprehension skills.

The extensive collection includes books, color-coded by AR reading levels, from kindergarten to 5th grade. The collection also includes audio books, leveled reading sets, manipulatives, and resources for teachers. 

Woodley’s library online resources included a collection of ebooks, links to various credible academic websites, and Destiny Discover library catalog system.

Our librarian is a passionate book advocate who makes reading fun. She’s chairperson to our annual Scholastic book fairs, and hosts an array of amazing themed events for our students including Read Across America/Dr. Seuss' Birthday Celebration.

MISSION

The Woodley Elementary Library Media Program is committed to being an integral part of our school’s curriculum. Our main goal is that students feel empowered to be effective users of ideas and information in a variety of formats. We strive to provide an open, friendly environment for students and teachers to find relevant, appropriate, and enjoyable material pertinent to the curriculum as well as appealing for pleasure reading.
