We’re building a new elementary school. Why can’t the public use the library there?
Like school libraries everywhere, the new elementary school library specifically supports the school curriculum. It will be rich in materials appropriate for young children and their progress in school, but it won’t contain materials for all ages and interests. But more significantly, security requirements dictate that the school building is only available for students and staff during the school day. The building was designed for the public to access certain areas after school hours including the gym, library, cafeteria, and multipurpose rooms.
