The Ute Meadows library is full of books and resources for students. Our collection has a variety of books ranging from wordless books, easy readers, picture books, graphic novels, fiction, to non-fiction. We have books with reading levels that range from pre-readers to upper elementary.
In addition to our expansive library collection and focus on literacy, we build capacity in technology integration to increase communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. Students learn about digital citizenship, computer literacy and programs, robotics, STEM, and coding.
