Gillispie students visit our library/media center once a week where they are introduced to new “friends” and are reacquainted with old ones. By hearing stories and checking out books, children have opportunities to discover new worlds through books and develop a passion for reading that will last a lifetime.
The mission of our library is to enrich the learning environment. The Gillispie School Library provides an organized collection of resources, as well as instruction in the use of these materials. In addition to encouraging a reading habit, the library’s instructional program enables students to begin developing skills they will need in an information-rich world.
