Welcome Back!

We are so glad to see everyone back in school and ready for a new year. This week we will review Library Rules & changes in the library. Check them out!


Library Rules:
1. Eating and drinking are not permitted in the library. Food and drinks must be left on the front counter or thrown away.
2. Maintain a quiet study atmosphere.
3. Students must present their hall pass at the circulation desk when they enter the library, unless they are part of a scheduled class.
4. Handle materials and equipment carefully.
5. Check out all materials before taking them out of the library.
6. Library computers should be used for educational purposes.
Please note:
  • The library is open M-F from 7:45-3:30.
  • 1st & 2nd grade students may check out one book at a time.
  • 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students may check out two books at a time.
  • Books are checked out for a period of one week.
  • Students may return books early before school or between 11:30-12:10.
  • Reference books, magazines, and tablets are not available for checkout.
  • Overdue fines are not charged, but students are not allowed to check out additional books if they have an overdue item.
  • Students will be charged the replacement cost of damaged or lost books.

The good news: We have brand new books, magazines, and tables to use in the library! We'll continue to train students in the next few weeks on how to read e-books and e-magazines using the tablets. I look forward to a brand new year with everyone!!

Dr. Seuss Week


March 2nd is the official birthday of Theodore Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss. Weekly activities are as follows:

Monday: Silly Socks Day (Fox in Socks)

Tuesday: Pajama Day (Dr. Seuss Sleep Book)

Wednesday: Wacky Clothes Day (Wacky Wednesday)

Thursday: Crazy Hat Day (Cat in the Hat)

Friday: Character Day (All Dr. Seuss Characters are welcome!)

Due to district benchmarking, students will not have library class until Friday, so our Dr. Seuss Reading Restaurant will take place until then. In the meantime, students may stop by the library to pick up a Reading Waiter/Waitress application, so that they may participate in reading to the lower grade levels.
