Please enjoy your school library books at home. No books are overdue, and we would like you to hold onto them until school buildings re-open.

Please be sure your young children are being read to, and encourage and discuss reading with older children. 

Also, please check your Blackboard class for videos and resources from the library staff—including ebooks available for you to check out or listen to. Happy reading!

The Annandale Terrace ES Library is a warm and welcoming place for students, teachers, and parents. It is the goal of the library program to develop and encourage a love of reading for all students and assist them in becoming critical thinkers who are effective and responsible users of information. Parents are always welcome in the library as volunteers for shelving and book fair.
