Family Library
We have a wide variety of materials available for our families to borrow and enjoy at their homes. These materials will help families bond with their children while reinforcing learning at home. Please browse our materials below and see if anything interests you.
​
If you would like to check out any materials, please call the family engagement center at (762) 325-8359. Once you submit a request via phone line, we will review your request and send home the materials with your student on the following Monday, Wednesday, or Friday if the materials are available. Materials will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. You will be able to keep the materials at home for up to seven days. On or before the seventh day, please send the materials with your student to return to the family engagement center at CVE. If you borrowed a game or puzzle, please make sure you return all of the pieces so that other families can enjoy the materials as well. Families may only have one item checked out at a time.
If you have any questions or want to suggest a material we could add to our library, please email daleyculberson@walkerschools.org. We cannot wait to see how you have fun and reinforce learning at home!
