The Lawton Library is a very special place!

Welcome to the Lawton Library, where we love to learn and read! Our mission is to foster a love of reading while also supporting students as they develop information literacy skills. Ms. Gallegos creates lessons for each of our homeroom classes, K-5, about different genres of books, information and digital literacy, and research techniques, as well as managing our book and technology collections.

Global Reading Challenge

Every year, 4th and 5th graders participate in this fun team reading challenge. In a typical year, students participate on mixed grade level teams, read GRC books, and then play a trivia-style competition against other teams at the school. 

In March, the winning team from Montlake participates in a semifinal round against schools across the district. The program aims are:

• Promote a love of reading
• Introduce students to diverse viewpoints
• Help students retain more of what they read
• Foster group activities and teamwork

If your 4th or 5th grader is interested in participating, more information will be available after the books are announced at the beginning of November.
