LIBRARY

The library is a place that encourages the love of reading. We have a wonderful collection of books that inspire students to read. All children at City Tree visit the school library once a week with their teacher. Students are given the opportunity to check out books during their library. Teachers also use the library as a resource for author and genre studies, as well as science and social studies units. A large selection of Christian books, including many Bible stories as well as fiction works, help children to grow in their love and understanding of God's Word and world.

We are always adding new books to our library. Parents and friends of City Tree may donate new and used books to the library at any time. One way many families give books to the school is through our Birthday Book Program. This program is a voluntary program at City Tree Christian School that allows children to celebrate their birthday by choosing a special new book as a "birthday present" to donate to the City Tree Library. It's fun to wrap the book up as a gift and than unwrap it in front of the class. Teachers read the book or a portion of the book aloud to the class. A special bookplate is added to the front of each book acknowledging the child and their birthday. Birthday Books are a fun way to celebrate birthdays and give back to the school! Other students benefit from the gift, and the "present" will be enjoyed for many years to come!
