Here is some information and Frequently Asked Questions about library services in the 2017-2018 school year. You can also find this information at the library web page at https://richmond.cesuvt.org/classrooms/library The page is also available as a link under the Students section on the RES web page.

When are library books due back?
Kindergartners are currently practicing borrowing library books and taking them to the classrooms; starting in October they will be taking them home!



How many books do scholars check out?
Scholars may have two books checked out at a time.

When is the library open?
7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday

Can I check out items from the RES library?
Yes! Family members can get accounts at the RES library. This is a great thing to do if your child goes through a lot of books, especially new readers who may read several "skinny books" in one week

What other items does the RES library check out besides books?
The RES library also checks out magazines and audiobooks on Playaway dedicated MP3 players.

Does the RES library need volunteers?
Yes, please! The Richmond Elementary School Library relies on volunteers for a variety of tasks including checking books in and out, shelving books, covering new books, and setting up displays. You are welcome to volunteer any time that fits your schedule. If you would like more information, please contact me. Thank you very much for your interest!

How do I contact the RES library?
Please email librarian Beth Redford at beth.redford@cesuvt.org, or call 434-2461 if you ever have questions or comments about the library. I look forward to hearing from you!

RES fourth graders were featured on Vermont Public Radio on February 8, during Vermont Edition at noon and 7 p.m.! They were interviewed in January for the VPR radio program Dorothy’s List , about the children’s books nominated for the Dorothy Canfield Fisher award. Every month Dorothy’s List features a different title, and RES scholars were interviewed about El Deafo , an award-winning book written and illustrated by Cece Bell. VPR reporter Amy Noyes interviewed our scholars as they discussed El Deafo, and she also recorded the fourth graders’ questions for the author. You can listen to the recorded show any time online at the Dorothy's List podcast.
