Located in Bldg. 124, the "Info Center" provides an informational hub for the school complex. A print collection of 10,000+ books provides both research and curriculum support resources across all grade levels. The library also offers a print-rich environment for leisure reading covering appropriate lexile levels for K-5 readers. Non-print resources such as the Internet and online databases are delivered through our school network. Feltwell Elementary School has subscriptions to databases that can be accessed by members of the school community on-site or via the Internet from a home computer. Perfect for elementary students, these are more authoritative, reliable and age-level appropriate than most websites found on the wider web. Online resources, which can be accessed at school or at home, include a variety of databases:
