About our Library ~
The Red Bluff Elementary Library was remodeled
during the building's first renovation in April, 1992. The library has over 12,000 children's books and
is the educational hub of the school. The
mission of the
library program is to provide students and staff with the materials and skills
needed to be good users of ideas and information.
The log cabin is a favorite place
for students to relax and read a library book,
and the kiva makes a great place
to sit and listen to a story.
