Welcome to the Central Heights Elementary Library!

Our library is a joyful place where young minds are encouraged to explore, imagine, and grow through the magic of books. Mrs. Michele Coats, our dedicated librarian, is passionate about helping students discover the love of reading early in life. Research shows that reading at a young age builds a strong foundation for academic success, boosts vocabulary and comprehension, and helps children develop empathy and creativity. Here at Central Heights, we believe that every book opens a door to possibility—and we’re excited to help each child take that first step on their reading journey!

Reading from a very young age is one of the most important steps in a child’s development, laying the groundwork for language skills, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. Early exposure to books helps children build vocabulary, strengthen their imagination, and develop the confidence they need to become successful, independent readers.
