We Love Books!
The Stevens Library strives to be a place of refuge, comfort and inclusion. The right book can be a temporary and welcome escape from the doldrums and/or worries of today. Know that much time is being devoted to building and refining our collection to ensure our library is a source of different voices, stories and interests.

Want to help us grow our collection? 
Visit our Stevens Library Powell's Wishlist! Most of these selections have been requested by the students and are good-condition USED copies, in line with our GTCC (Green Team Climate Change!) school-wide goals to Reduce & Reuse. Also included on our list are book award nominees, favorite authors and favorite series. Thank you for your consideration!
Looking for more book ideas to share with your family?
Check out the Stevens Library Collections to view various recommended reading lists including Stevens Staff picks, Biographies, Social Justice titles & Girl Power selections. These collections are growing every month as we begin efforts to organize our material by genre and add more books to our library. Visit our Book Award Nominees page for further recommendations, including lists of present and past award nominees, including the Washington Children’s Choice Picture Book Award. Remember, “You are NEVER too old for a good picture book!”
Bibliophiles Flip for Favorites! 
We did it! Our latest Donors Choose project, Bibliophiles Flip for Favorites! has been funded and over 50 new books are on their way to the library! Thank you Donors, yet again, for your encouragement, enthusiasm and efforts to help us build a library for all!
Please click on Bibliophiles Flip for Favorites! to learn more about this project, as well as other funded projects.
Past projects have brought a multitude of materials to our space including flexible seating, stools, new bookshelves and funds to continue our Junior Library Guild Biography, Science and General Nonfiction subscriptions.
