The Bryant library curriculum begins in kindergarten with students engaged in all genres of literature. One day may find students doing everything from enjoying storytelling to searching for a title on the online catalog. Skills and expectations build to develop research practices that include note taking and citation of resources from texts or online sources.

The Bryant library has an extensive collections that contains picture books, emerging readers, chapter books, and nonfiction to support the K-5 curriculum and student interests. The library contains over 12,000 books. In addition to book materials, the library has 14 student computers for access to Seattle Public Schools subscribtion-based online resouces, and to support information literacy library curriculum.
