About Our Library

Welcome to the Carrillo Library! Every class from PreK through 5th grade visits the library once a week to check out books. Our learners also enjoy grade-level appropriate library lessons, including storytimes and songs, author and illustrator studies, and instruction on research skills and information literacy.  We strive to support every student with the "just-right" books and information they need as they develop into readers, learners, leaders, and dreamers!
 

"Every child needs a safe place to fall - a place where they can explore things without worrying about failure and judgment. A library is one of those places. In a library you can learn by following your own nose, which is very different from someone telling you what you should learn. Once a kid learns a library is hers, to use as she wants, the world opens up. I've seen it happen. It happened to me." - Bill Harley
