Destination Library

The library at Clay Elementary School underwent a transformation bringing it in to the 21st century and making it a more inviting place for students. The school increased the library's hours of operation to include time before school and during lunch. Students can also visit the library to read or to use the computer lab for Accelerated Reader quizzes before school. New non-fiction titles that support the Common Core curriculum were purchased and “The Daily Special” board was implemented to encourage students to read outside of normal genre choices.

The aesthetic appeal of the library was enhanced to include new art on the walls, an Apple TV device for use in conjunction with an iPad, and large television for the use with digital books and media within the library. All of the improvements helped increase circulation and use of the library.
