School Library
OUR MISSION
Welcome readers and researchers of Victory Blvd Elem. & STEAM Magnet. The library's mission is to nourish and create lifelong readers who have the skills to enter any library in the world and feel at home choosing and reading great stories, researching topics and reading just because. Whether it be a book, a Kindle, or a magazine, Victory students love to read.
Library Hours
The library is open every week from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm . Classes come every week. We have close to 11,000 books that reflect the curriculum of each grade level. In addition, children may come in during their recess and lunch when the door is open. There is a magazine browsing section and some great fiction for ALL reading levels as well. Come and visit us in the Library Patio south of the Cafeteria. See you soon!

Library Club
Our 26 fifth graders who are in LIBRARY CLUB are a talented and earnest group this year! Not only do they come EVERY OTHER week to meet, but they come in on their free time to shelve, play the DEWEY game online, and practice their library skills. The Victory Library functions well because the CLUB is here to help. They are also having fun. Happy Reading!

Reading is Brain Food
Reading keeps our students' brains humming. Please make the Public Library a regular stop every 2 weeks. There are books in many languages for parents, and Victory kids will love the children's collection!
Please think of books for birthday gifts, and provide time for the entire family to read at home: newspapers, magazines, and books, books, books.
Reading on the patio, on the plane, at the beach, in a park, before you fall asleep at night, early in the morning, on your comfy chair, reading ANYWHERE!
