    Reading good books is an important part of each child's education.  Recreational reading helps to maintain and strengthen reading skills and broaden children's regular instructional program.  children should be encouraged to read quality library books which can be a source of enjoyment and enrichment. 

     With this worthwhile purpose in mind we would like to extend our pupils opportunities for reading by allowing them to borrow books from our school library.  Students may keep books for one week, renewable for a second week.  Since our library collection is not a large one, only one book is allowed at a time.  Parents are asked to reimburse the school for lost or damaged books. 

 

For Children Taking School Library Books Home:

  1. Books can't wash their faces so don't leave dirty finger marks on them!

  2. Always use a book mark to mark where you stopped reading.

  3. Open books gently; rough handling can break the stitching in their backs.

  4. Turn the pages from the top.  This will prevent pages from being torn at the bottom.

  5. Wet weather doesn't agree with books.  Protect them.

  6. Dogs think books are grand to chew.  Give them a dog bone instead.

  7. Keep books away from the babies.  They like to tear pages out or scribble with crayons on them.
