Welcome to Our Library

The Woodstock Christian School Library plays an important and exciting role in the total educational program of our school. The library is a warm and inviting place, used regularly by our staff and students, and it provides a program of services and resources that meet the needs of curriculum, and also the interests and abilities of our students. We seek to provide materials which will encourage both spiritual and intellectual growth. Each class has a scheduled library period each week during which the librarian and/or volunteer are available to sign out books and to assist them in finding books and research materials. books are loaned for a two-week period and it is important that books be returned on time. Overdue notices will be emailed out every Friday. Students will reimburse the school for lost books.
 

What's Going On?

Every year, our school is one of many that participate in the "Battle of the Books" competition. Students in grades 4-8 can participate by joining a team, either junior or senior, and will read 10 books throughout the year.
