We are excited to announce that Mote will be taking part in the Saturday Library Program this year. Please visit us on select dates from 9 am to noon. Saturday Library includes time to browse and select books (for Mote families only) as well as use the library computers.The highlight of Saturday Library, however, is a presentation from the Delaware Museum of Natural History which enriches the Mote science curriculum while entertaining students. Families who attend two or more sessions are invited to attend a free field trip to the museum which includes transportation from Mote. Enjoy!! ||

The Mote School Library is devoted to helping children form a positive relationship with books. Pleasure reading at the elementary school level is never just a distraction - even if the reading material is a comic book, magazine, or blog - because the act of voluntary reading provides lifelong benefits for children. Just as play is how preschoolers learn about their world, pleasure reading is how elementary school children learn to love the written word and feel comfortable in the world of books. ||
