Our library is not up to national or California standards. For example, the standard CA library (average) has 14 books per child. Joseph Sims only has 11. Our library needs so many more (more than 3500) books. Next year we will be able to buy art and sports related books with state money. However, the PTO needs to sponsor the library to make up the difference.

This year our Kathryn Beich fundraiser will benefit the library!!! This is the fundraiser where we sell gift wrap/gift items and cookie dough. The fundraiser will be kicked off on August 24 for A & C Tracks and will run until September 7. B & D Tracks sale will run from September 20 - October 5. We will need LOTS of help distributing the cookie dough and also the catalog items when they arrive at school. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us through the website.
