Our students are eager to select books that support classroom curriculum, and materials that appeal to their various individual interests. Throughout the year your child will be introduced to the various sections of the library, and will learn to locate materials within the library through use of our automated catalog. Students may check out up to four books at one time, with a two-week check out period. Materials may be renewed as necessary for an additional two weeks. We do not charge late fines, but all lost or damaged materials must be paid for in full in a timely fashion.
In addition to visiting the library for 30 minutes each week with their classmates, students are encouraged to visit the library before school, 8:00-8:25, and at each recess. Parents may come in to request a library card before or after school, then check out books from our student collection and the Parent Shelf. Our parent section includes books relating to issues such as illness, death, divorce, special needs, bullying, trouble with homework, GATE programs, and discipline.
