Welcome to the Atlas Library!
Hello, and welcome to the Atlas Library! My favorite genres to read are Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and Biographies; I have been the Atlas Librarian since 2010. I live on ten acres just north of Hayden with my husband, dog, chickens, honeybees, and local wildlife. My hobbies include backpacking, exploring, and cooking. I graduated in 2005 from Kansas State University with a B.S. in Sociology, along with a minor in Women's Studies, emphasis on Families. My claim to fame is helping Darren Sproles (former NFL Eagles Runningback) pass Economic Botany. GO WILDCATS!

Library class consists of story-time, library lessons, check-out, and reading their “new” books. Occasionally, we do fun projects or STEM activities. Watch for pictures on the social media pages! I do my best to make sure each student has an age-appropriate and reading-level-appropriate book to read when they leave the library, but if you have concerns, please contact me: sgrimm@cdaschools.org. Students 1st - 5th grade take books home and are welcome to exchange any time, not just at their weekly library class.
Click here and choose Atlas Elementary to see what your student has checked out from the library. Then log in with your student’s school username and password, which you can find in Skyward.
Remember that library fines (the cost of a lost book) do not just go away, they follow your students through their middle and high school careers, so take care of those before you leave Atlas Elementary!
A few bedtime story favorites of mine are:
Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown;
Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel;
The Dragon in the Sock Drawer by Kate Klimo;
The Narnia Series by C.S. Lewis.
