LRS Programs

Welcome to the Library Page

We invite families to check in and check out in real time, what’s happening in our LRS Library. You can read about the current LRS Library curriculum, special events, explore educational articles and resources, discover new and noteworthy books, and discover cool programs at the public library in real time.

THE LIBRARY PAGE IS UPDATED WEEKLY.

Books for interactive read-alouds are based on classroom and seasonal themes. The weekly library experience for students is active and joyful. By providing a flexible curriculum, hands-on materials and a catalogue of print and audio books, the objective of reaching every kind of reader, and supporting a lifelong love of reading is made possible. Two of the public library free audiobook systems: Overdrive and RB Digital, are also used to enhance the LRS catalogue.Research support is always available in collaboration with classroom teachers. A variety of Makerspace activities including sewing, Stickbot animation, board games, photography, electric piano playing, drawing, beading, building to solve design challenges,origami, and more, are available for students to explore. Special events are planned as part of the library curriculum such as the annual Book Fair, lectures, and children’s author visits.

Librarian's Hours

This year, the librarian will be in the building on Mondays from 11:30-3:30 and on Wednesdays from 9-2. Students will be given the opportunity to check out books from a basket of books brought to their classroom each week. Once library books are returned to the school library, they will be quarantined for a period of three days.

Every student from Beginner to fifth-grader has a library card for the Long Ridge School Library. Students and Families are invited to visit before and after school, or in between classes.to check out books.
If students and teachers would like to request a book not in the LRS Library Catalog, the librarian will be happy to check it out from the Ferguson Library. However, library books from the Ferguson Library must be read at school.
The LRS librarian is a member of the Stamford Friends of the Ferguson Library Board. The supportive relationship between the public library and the LRS library mutually supports the literacy goals of each organization!
