Look for Lost Library Books
Time to look for those lost library books! We are working to get our Tres Volcanes School Library books back on the shelves. If you have lost books, please look everywhere for them: under your bed, on your bookshelves, under furniture, and in your car. Let's start next year off with a clean slate.
Interesting Library Facts
All of our library books are only 5 years old! We have two libraries full of wonderful books. We also have over 2,000 eBooks and over 300 audiobooks. We like to say we have something for everyone!
TVCCS Library Mission
The mission of Tres Volcanes Community Collaborative School Library is to provide students with positive experiences of the library through relevant, exciting, and engaging literacy activities that include all the resources of the library. We will work to foster in our students a lifelong love of reading and learning, help them develop an ability to think critically and become informed and compassionate citizens, and encourage them to become skilled users of ideas and information.
