Thanks to a generous grant from the Issaquah Schools Foundation, Maywood Library is pleased to offer the Middle School Homework club on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays!  We are open from 2:35 until 4:20 for reading, book checkout, schoolwork and homework help. The first day of the club will be Monday, September 23. 

The Activity Bus is available for students who have been in a supervised after-school activity.

After-school Library Guidelines:

Students need to be in the Library 10 minutes after the final bell at the latest.  Anyone arriving later will need a pass from a staff member.

Students need to be engaged in an activity (reading, homework, computer use) while in the Library after-school...students may not simply hang out and visit with friends!

Activity Bus passes will be handed out 5 minutes before busses are scheduled to leave.  Students who leave the Library before Activity Bus passes are handed out can not return later to receive a pass!

Maywood Library provides students access to a constantly evolving multimedia collection, including over 18,000 print titles, 20 magazine subscriptions, hundreds of eBooks, 150+ audiobooks, and 20+ online databases. 

The Library is open to students before school, the entire school day, and after-school, with extended after-school hours offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (see below for more information about library hours and the after-school program).

The goal of Maywood Library is to connect students to books in a way that fosters a lifelong love of reading and also provide them with the information and research skills they need to succeed in school and life. 

Please call or email Mr. Dahlin if you need any special assistance accessing a great book, online database or other library resource!
