How RKV Works
RKV was started by a student parent to help make study time outside of normal daycare hours! Students must stay in the library while kids are at RKV. Students can bring their kids for up to 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Reading Rams
RKV is now a Scholastic FACE partner, allowing us to provide books to families to build their home library. Families can request one Reading Rams Kit per child and a brand new book, a DIY bookmark kit, a reading log and coloring pages that correlate with their book, and activities to go along with the book (all supplies included to complete the activities). Reading Rams Kits are available once every year during the spring semester.
