Hello from our Lower School Librarians

Welcome to the Watt Library!  I am Allison Williams, the head librarian in the Lower School. Many of your children will have already met me if they attended Cubs Camp or Getting Ready for JK this summer. I will be working with your children in the library this year, along with my colleague Susan Overton.  

We like to think the Watt Library is at the heart of the school and also an extension of what goes on in your child’s classroom. We will be sharing stories and songs with your children as part of their regular schedule. Each student at Collegiate has his or her own library card, and soon after the beginning of school your child will begin to check out a library book to take home.  Caring for the book and returning it on time is part of a Junior Kindergartner’s responsibility. To help them in this task, each child has a Paw Pouch in which to keep their books. 

I know that Collegiate families are reading families, and I encourage you to share this pleasure throughout the year.

I look forward to meeting you all on Parent's Night when the Watt Library hosts a Book Sale of new books for our collection.  

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Allison Williams
