About our Library ~

    The Red Bluff Elementary Library was remodeled during the building's first renovation in April, 1992.
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.

Accelerated Reader

The Accelerated Reader Program is available at Red Bluff.  Books in the library that are aligned with this program are marked with a colored dot signifying their approximate reading level. After reading an "A.R." book, students are tested for comprehension on a classroom computer.  Points are earned for each correct answer.

Library Song

Created by former Red Bluff Librarian Janette Fuller.
Tune:  A Military Marching Cadence.  The librarian is the "drill sergeant" and sings one line 
and the students repeat.  

F-I-C-T-I-O-N
Fiction, Fiction, Say It Again.
Fiction Books Are Make-Believe,
They're In Order By A-B-Cs.

Numbers, Numbers In A Row,
Tell Us Where Non-Fiction Goes.
Gives Us Facts And Gives Us Rules,
The Dewey Decimal System's Cool.

Famous People We Will See,
When We Read Biographies.
Each Book Has A Letter "B",
They're In Order By A-B-Cs.

Questions, Questions, Where To Go?
Reference Books Will Surely Know.
Encyclopedias Will Give Some Clues,
Almanac and Atlas too.

C-A-T-A-L-O-G
Card Catalog Is The Library's Key.
Authors, Titles, Subjects Too,
Find A Book That's Right For You.

Now I Know My Li-brar-y,
I Can Find Just What I Need.
I'll Be Quiet And I Won't Run,
Coming To The Li-brar-y Is Fun!
