Welcome to Rigler Elementary Library

The mission of our library is foster curiosity, inspire the love of reading, and teach responsible cyber citizenship.  My door is open, literally and figuratively, to students, staff, and parents with a greeting of, "How can I help you?" and a smile.  Our library has resources in English and Spanish.

Periodically I will add relevant links that will help them with their classwork, and inspire them to choose great books. So, check back often to see what has changed.
