Students in grades K – 2 will come to the library on a regularly scheduled basis for literature appreciation and Story Time. Teachers in grades 3 – 5 will collaborate with the librarian to schedule their classes for specific skills and activities to enhance and support the classroom curriculum.
   Canyon Creek Library is an open library. This means that all students may come independently every day to return and check out books. Students in Kindergarten will participate in an orientation period on the proper care of books and to learn the procedure to checkout before they will be bringing their first book home. Kindergartners may check out one book at a time. First through Fifth grade students may check out five books at a time. Books circulate for two weeks. If the book is needed for a longer period it can easily be renewed.
   Overdue notices are printed once a week. These are just reminders, as we do not charge fines. These are sent home to be helpful to you the parent in keeping up with the books your child has out.
   The Canyon Creek Library currently has 13,574 volumes in our book collection. We are growing!
