Guiding Principles of the GIS Library
The mission of the GIS library is to foster curiosity and instill a love of reading and learning by providing a welcoming, inclusive, and resource-rich environment for students and staff. We aim to support academic success, inspire creativity, and develop lifelong learners through collaboration, literacy development, and critical thinking.

Lost Materials
GEVSD does not charge late fees; however, if your child has lost library materials, the items need to be replaced or paid for. Please see Mrs. Mackley for specific information.
