Welcome to the PS 10 Library!
Our library serves the entire PS 10 community with the primary goals of providing materials that contribute to the curriculum and helping students to become life-long learners. This starts with a love of reading. All students are taught library and research skills appropriate to their ages. Every class has a scheduled period in the library where students have the opportunity to share and select books for home reading.
Our library was created in partnership with the Robin Hood Foundation and their support lives on through our amazing space. Library computers are networked and connected to the Internet. DVDs and other media are also integrated into the library’s collections. The space encourages recreational reading and is terrific for studying. Our collection includes fiction, non-fiction, biography, reference, and videos. We are proud of the multicultural offerings at our school, and we have books in several languages.
The library is open to the school community every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:35-4:30pm.
