Our Purpose The White River School Library is committed to providing materials that support the Hartford School District curriculum as well as reading materials for students on a variety of subjects and reading levels. Our Schedule The White River School library offers an open as well as a fixed schedule. This ensures students a weekly visit that includes a library class and book selection time and the opportunity to visit the library on an as needed basis. Students are encouraged to visit often to get a new book. -Pre K classes: Once a week for 20 minutes -K-5 classes: Once a week for 45 minutes. Book Award Programs White River School participates in two Vermont book award programs. The Red Clover Books is a children's choice award for students in grades K-4. The set of 10 books circulates to each classroom for 4-6 weeks where teachers read them and incorporate them into the curriculum as appropriate. Students all over the state vote for their favorite book. The winner, chose by the children of Vermont, is awarded the Red Clover Award. The Golden Dome Award is for students in grades 4-8. Students read from a selection of 30 books. Children that choose to participate vote for their favorite Golden Dome book in April, come to the library for lunch and an ice cream party, and get a book as an award.
