Welcome to the Vina School Media Center
Welcome to our library page! Pre-K through 3rd grade students have two library times per week. 4th - 6th grade has one hour long library time per week. High school students may check out books any school day between 7:35 and 8:00, during break, and after 2:00. There are several online resources that offer ebooks. Look in the links section of this page or under student resources to find websites that offer digital books and stories. Don’t forget to take your AR tests. If you don’t remember your username or password for AR, send me an email requesting it. I can also unlock students who get locked out of the program by typing in the wrong password. Just keep reading!
