the Larkspur Library

Library Procedures:

Larkspur Students can visit the library at least once a week. It’s a great chance to check out a variety of materials that can be taken home and shared with families. While the materials are checked out to them, students are responsible for their care. Everyone should bring items back in good condition and on time so others can enjoy them too!
