About Our Library

About Our Library

Even though our school opened in September 1998 the Blackwell Library has a large, up-to-date collection. There are about 15,000 items for students to check out.

We have books, paperbacks, magazines, books-on-tape, and reference materials. The average number of library books, in our District, is 12,321 with 25 books per student. At Blackwell, we have about 27 books per student. Our books are frequently circulated. On average, more than 3,000 items are checked out each month from our library, or more than 30,000 items per school year. We have one of the highest checkout averages, per pupil, in the District. We also have more than 500 resources for teachers to use in the classsrooms. Our parent collection is growing and there are some great resources for parents to borrow.

Thanks to the wonderful support of our PTSA and the funds earned from our book fair each year, our library is constantly growing with materials that students need for classroom assignments and pleasure reading! We all benefit from a quality library collection!

There are sixteen student computers in the Library. Students may use the computers during their Library class, at lunch recess, or during the day if their teacher sends them to the Library. Students search for books in our Library, use the Internet and online databases to conduct research, work on classroom assignments, and much more!
