The Greenbrook Elementary School library is home to roughly 17,000 fiction and nonfiction titles. The library also houses eight student workstations along with Chromebooks and a whiteboard projection system. Within the space itself, students can work individually or in small groups at dry-erase tables, settle in with a book in the Independent Reading Center, or meet as a class on the large rug by the whiteboard.
