Book Check Out

Starting the week of September 8th, students in grades 2-5 will be able to check out books from the Library's collection. Students in 1st grade will start checking out books beginning next month. Classes will have an opportunity this year to check out every week; the last 15 minutes of Library class will be for checking out books and silently reading. Students that will not be checking out are strongly encouraged to read one of our many magazines. Students are allowed to check out one book at a time.

Before they start checking out books, students have a brief lesson on proper book care and resonsiblity. We go over "safe spots" for library books both at school and at home. Every student received a letter from the Library about borrowing from the Library to take home to go over with an adult.

Students are responsible for the books they borrow. If a book gets lost or demaged, they need to let Mrs. C know right away. The student will need to replace or pay for it.

A copy of the letter as well as the Book Check Out Power Point can be found on the Library web site under "Library Documents for Students and Parent."
