Overview

Library

My name is Michelle Williams, and I am the librarian at Aurora. Each week, 16 classes visit the library for a 30-minute session. During this time, students participate in a library lesson followed by a checkout period. 

Students can choose from a wide range of materials including fiction, non-fiction, biographies and magazines. Our collection features popular options such as Battle of the books, Accelerated Reader titles, Newberry Award winners, and many other diverse selections to suit every reader's interest. 

In general, the replacement cost for lost books or damaged books is:
  • $10.00 for paperback books
  • $25.00 for hardcover books
