Welcome to the Akins library! We are open from 8:30 am-4:45 pm M-TH and 8:30 am-4:35 pm on Friday! Passes are required during class!
If you have overdue books checked out, don't worry! You can return them to the book drop in front of the school or in the library. All books can be returned to the library including books from previous years and other schools.
The Akins library is encouraging all students to read at least FIVE books this summer via the 5 Book Dive. Students who complete their Bookmark will receive a $5 gift card from Book People when they take it in person. At Akins, students who complete the 5 Book Dive and our Google Form will be entered in a drawing for a gift card from Starbucks, Barnes & Noble or Chick-Fil-A when they return in August.
Students can read any five books, but here are some ideas to get you started:

Congrats to the winner of our Akins Five Book Dive, Makayla McDonald!
