Welcome to Essex Elementary School Library

  • Leo our mascot   

What's New?

  • We are pleased to announce that we have an official EES Library Book Return box where families may now return library books. A huge thanks goes to our custodians Tony Smith and Brad Snow for their enthusiasm and carpentry skills. A few more details are still to come, such as a sign, but that will be soon. It is located under the roof overhang to the right of the front door, where there is a picnic table and a secondary entrance.

    We will be offering summer checkouts again this year. 

    If your family wants to borrow books from the EES Library, you will need to fill out this online form.

    • Students may borrow up to 10 books
    • Use the Library Catalog to look up books. Use the Visual tab (upper right) for easier searching.
    • Click here to view a short video that explains some tips on how to search for books using the Destiny online Library Catalog.
    • Fill out the online form to let me know which books you wish to borrow. 
    • Choose which date you will pick up your books (see form) and pick them up on that date next to the Book Return box (under the roof overhang to the right of the front door of the school).
    • Return books in the Book Return box any time, or at the start of the school year.
    • Second graders moving on to FMS may return their EES books to the FMS Library at the beginning of the school year.
