This is a picture of our library. It is in the middle of our school, and one of the biggest places in our school. Students and teachers are always visiting the library.  Each grade gets to check out books from our library. We have many books, but every year we lose many books when people fail to return them. The library gets new books every year and we usually get popular, well-known books like Harry Potter and other great books. Many classes use the books for reports and other projects. Every day the librarians have to organize all the books so they are always very busy.  This is a picture of the front desk in the library where we check out our books. We have a couple of computers that students use to locate books or to check if the books are in the library or not. This is very helpful since there are many books in the library.
