Here at the Kirk Library we cater to a wide variety of reading interests and requests. Our first and foremost goal to to have a collection that spans the interests and needs of our students, teachers and curriculum. In keeping with the STEAM aspect of our current curriculum, we have a wide variety of non-fiction books, from our Pure Technology section, our Arts section, to Biographies and first-hand accounts of historica events. We know how important non-fiction reading and comprehension is in our students lives, and the necessity of the basic principles guiding our science, technology, engineering, arts and math programs is reflected in the Kirk Library's non-fiction collection.

When it comes to fiction, we strive to stay current in terms of what our students are reading, as well as keeping the classics in circulation. Patrons will find all genres represented in the Kirk Library fiction collection, inclusive of science fiction, realistic fiction, horror, mystery, fantasy and historical fiction. The last three genres listed have some sample titles represented, along with appropriate grade reading levels, in tables to the left.
