The Reeces Creek ES Library is an exciting place to visit. We have a beautiful library that opened in 2012, with a collection of over 10,000 books for students and staff to check out. The number will grow over the course of this next school year. Our goal is to have the "just right book" for every student and to encourage life-long reading and learning. We are excited to have a dedicated space for our Maker Den, and our newest addition are a 3-D printer and Indi robots! A special thank you goes out to the district and the KISD Education Foundation for providing the materials needed to start our own Maker Den.
We have eBooks in our library collection. Be sure to check out what is available through our online library catalog. It is due to the generosity of the KISD Education Foundation that we now have almost 400 eBooks available for our students. With the new year, we also have over 500 new books for our students, with more books on the way. There are many of our students' favorites and soon to be new favorites: Library of Doom, Bad Kitty, Pete the Cat, Diary of the Wimpy Kid and many more. Be sure to check out the New Book stand to see the new books as well as the new 2x2 and Bluebonnet Books displays.A special thank you goes out to the NAFIS, A+ Education Foundation, Killeen ISD Education Foundation, Laura Bush Foundation for America's Libraries for funding our grants this past year for a total of over $18,000, which includes the addition of book bins, an overhaul of our Pre-K and Graphic Library sections of the library, a new section in the library. These items will be introduced to our library during the course of this year.
Our staff consists of Rayanne Polm as the librarian and Tori Mullins, as our library educational associate! We look forward to seeing you at the RCES library!
