Students & Parents

By now students will have told you which day is their library day. That is the day all books are returned and new books are checked out. Generally books are on loan for one week unless the student is still reading it. If you child doesn’t know which day is their library day, you may call the Library at 674-8519 and Mr. Goldsmith will give you the information.

 

Your child will also have talked with you about choosing a safe, dry place in your home to keep library books. A safe spot keep books from being accidentally damaged and parents know where they are. Students are required to pay to replace damaged and lost books, so it is important to keep them in a place safe from pets, younger siblings and food spills. A bookshelf or dresser may be a safe place; the kitchen counter or on the floor is likely not.

 

Library books only go in a backpack after books are first put in a plastic bag. The plastic bag protects library books from everything else that is inside a backpack – pens, food, wet clothing, and leaking juice boxes. Please assist your child in finding a clean, dry plastic bag to put their library books in. A sturdy grocery bag will work well. Help your child get into the habit of FIRST placing all library books inside a clean, dry plastic bag and then putting them in the back pack to protect the library’s books and your wallet. A new, sturdy bag is available at the school library desk for 25 cents.

 

Book Fairs are held twice a year in April and October. Look for more information in the April and October newsletters. Parents available to help with Book Fair please call Grace at the Library.
