Welcome to the Gardner Bullis Library!
What's the purpose of our school libraries?
School libraries have great books, just like public libraries, but school libraries also teach information literacy skills and library skills that are part of the curriculum in California.
What types of resources are available from LASD libraries?
Our libraries provide multiple resources for students in preschool through 8th grade with the goal of providing every student with options for becoming strong information users and lifelong readers. We offer print books and magazines, both fiction and nonfiction, for reading for pleasure and to support schoolwork and personal information interests. We also offer high quality electronic information resources for student research and reading development that are available both at school and home. Our goal is to offer choices to students in order to meet each student's research and reading needs.

About Mrs. De Rego
Mrs. De Rego loves being the school librarian! She has spent the last 10 years heading up the Gardner Bullis School Library and couldn’t imagine a more rewarding job than helping to develop the love of reading and researching in our students. She is an avid reader and often has two books going simultaneously: one book for a late night bedtime story, and an audiobook for her commute. Mrs. De Rego can’t wait to talk books with students this year.
