 <h3>CRICS Library</h3>
 <p>The CRICS library can be a helpful resource for encouraging reading at all levels from infancy to adulthood. The membership fee will allow the user “check out” services for library resources and other programs available through our library. It is expected that ECS families will respect and follow our policies of due dates and fines for late, lost, or damaged books and resources. Further policy details (i.e., membership fee, community hours, library guidelines, etc.) are available in this <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OsEH2bZZF-tgTEdt-7TNGFHVtEEwgfV6QHx7_4qBsMY/edit?usp=sharing">document</a>.</p>
 <p>The library may be used by ECS students. Please check in with the library staff upon your first visit to be updated on student policies in that classroom and study space concerning allowances for volume, use of space, and phones. This is an active and important area of campus and everyone who uses it must obey the library expectation or move to the cafeteria.</p>

 <h3>Sports</h3>
 <p>Opportunities are available through CRICS. There may be positions available for athletic training and competition, such as soccer, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, cross-country, and others. A one-time fee at the beginning of each season covers basic costs, but additional fees may be needed for travel, hotel stays, uniforms, or other necessary expenses. Contact our Athletic Director, Mr. Parrish Wessels, <a href="mailto:pwessels@crics.asia">pwessels@crics.asia</a> for more information. (Fees apply.)</p>

 <h3><strong>Youth Group</strong></h3>
 <p>The Youth Group at CRICS is a place where students are given the opportunity to grow in community, knowledge of the Word of God, and in ministry leadership with their peers. Unique spaces are created for both middle (7-8th grade) and high (9-12th grade) schoolers to come and get to know CRICS teachers in a setting outside of the classroom. God has been leveraging our Tuesday night gatherings of worship, and being rooted in the Word together, to develop connections between God and people. These relationships transcend grade divisions and school associations to unite around prayer, small groups, and the foundation for discipleship relationships.</p>
