When can I visit the library?The library is open from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00p.m.
Students are welcome anytime with teacher permission. Each class visits the library weekly for 45 minutes and checks out books at that time, however, books can be checked out, renewed or returned at any time during the week. |
How many books may I check out?
Students in PreK through 2nd grade may check out 2 books at a time.
Students in 3rd through 5th grade may have 3 books at a time.
Responsible Reading
* Some grade levels require students to check out at least book within a certain reading level range.
In a library that serves faculty and students ranging in ages from four to adults, a wide variety of materials are needed. Obviously, what is interesting and appropriate for four-year-olds may not be interesting and/or appropriate for eleven-year-olds and visa versa. When students first visit the library each year, Mrs. Simmers issues her standard advice: “If you choose a book that makes you uncomfortable or that would make your parents uncomfortable, return it.” The beauty of libraries is that they are all about choice. Find a book you can completely “enjoy.” Parents can help students enjoy the library. Ask students what they are reading and talk to them about their choices.
