The mission of the Oakhurst Library is to empower students to be critical thinkers, innovators, problem-solvers, truth seekers, and dream followers through meaningful collaboration with teachers and carefully curated resources that allow all students to see themselves in the pages of our books, resulting in lifelong readers and learners.
Any space that aims to inspire young (and old) readers needs to be aesthetically appealing. Much like the book stores we all love to spend afternoons exploring, libraries depend on dynamic displays with colorful books, plush characters, and things like tents and flashlights :) to draw in young readers.
Unfortunately, these are the types of things that usually don't fit into the public school budget. If you'd like to contribute to the Oakhurst Media Center, please find an Amazon wishlist HERE.
