Our Library

Spring 2020

With our schools closed due to the Covid-19 virus, I want you to know that I am available to assist you in finding books to read, information for classroom activities, or any questions you might have. Please visit our Reading page and Databases page to access an assortment of free reading and learning resources.

Doughty teachers kick off National Poetry Month 2020 with a poem titled “My Doggy Ate My Essay” by Darren Sardelli

The library at the James F. Doughty School is a vibrant hub of activity and energy. We strive to offer programming that is exciting for all of our students by offering engaging, age-appropriate community reads throughout the year, and by developing relevant information literacy lessons closely aligned with curriculum. Students are welcome to use the Library throughout the school day as well as after school to find reading materials, as a place to do homework and study, and to join a variety of after school activities!
