Yes, parents can borrow books!

Parents are welcome to borrow books from both the Primary and Secondary libraries at UWCSEA East.

We definitely believe in the "trickle down" effect.  Take out big beautiful books, small interesting books, graphic novels, poetry, history, biography, whatever - spread them around your house.  The passive exposure is positive.  You will be helping to expand your child's map of the literate world.

Most importantly, read the books you take out.   Then talk about them.

Your children need to see you reading.  In fact, I had one parent come in and say, much as he enjoyed his Kindle, he realized that when he was on it, his children were not perceiving him as reading.  So he wanted to switch to some physical books to visually reinforce his activity to his family.  Role modeling....

How do you sign up for the library?  Either come in and see Ms. Ernie or Mr. Haniff at the Information Desk on the upper level or fill out the form below.  Remember to press the SUBMIT button at the very end.
