A Special Note About Kindergarten

The Kindergarten students will visit the library each week for 30 minutes. Kindergarten students come to us in the fall with a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds. We have found that these students are best suited to begin checking out books after the 1st 9-weeks period. It generally takes a semester to instill good library habits with these students. After the 1st 9-weeks period, the Kindergarten students will begin checking out one book each week.

Students in Grades One Through Four

Students in grades 1- 4 will visit the library weekly for 30 min. 5th graders come to library when the teacher schedules a class. 5th graders are on a "flex schedule". Due to Covid, students are not self-selecting books in the library. K, 1st and 2nd graders will get books when they visit for class. We select books for them on their reading level. Students in grades 3-5 will select their own books by filling out a Google Form that is shared with them via Google Classroom. Books may be renewed if a student needs them for a longer period of time. However, the student must bring the book in to renew it. Also, students may put books on hold, so that if a particular book is checked out, it will be held for them when it is turned in.

Fines

Students are not assessed fines for overdue books. However, students are not allowed to check out books or renew books if they have an overdue library book. Once the overdue library book is returned, then the student may continue checking out books. Please assist us in helping your child be responsible for his or her library books. Each student is responsible for any book (s) he or she checks out.
