Public Libraries

Here are a few links to some of our local libraries.

The Loveland Library website can be accessed here. You can search for books, read reviews and reserve copies online.

For the Poudre River Library District, click here. There are three locations in Ft. Collins, including the brand new, very cool, Council Tree branch at the new shopping center off Harmony and Ziegler.

The Greeley Libraries are part of the High Plains Library District and their website can be accessed here.

Renaissance Home Connect

Renaissance Home Connect is a website that can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. This site provides information on individual student progress in the Accelerated Reader program used in our class.

You have the option to log in with your child's ID Number and password to see their progress. Student performance on reading, vocabulary and literary skills quizzes are available for review.

If you have more questions about this website, you can read this letter about"What is Renaissance Home Connect" which provides more information on this program.

Here is another link to "A Parent's Guide to Renaissance Home Connect".

If you have any questions regarding the Home Connect website, or how to navigate the site, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail.
