The School Library
Our library is a major educational resource for the teachers and students of the school. It is primarily a learning and information centre.
At Prairievale Public School we are proud of our modern, well-equipped school library with its large, comprehensive collection. Our library has multiple internet access points for students.. Students participate in weekly library lessons which are designed to support classroom programs and develop information skills. During lessons, children borrow from a range of material. Library bags are available from the library.
