• BORROWING: First graders are allowed to choose one book from our “Everybody/ Easy” section (mostly picture books) of the library each week. That book should be returned to school on the next library day. Please keep the book in a safe place while it is visiting your home-- it is VERY easy for library books to try to live with your other books!. If you would like your child to select from our chapter books and/or more challenging nonfiction, please let me know.
• RENEWING: If your child would like to keep a book for another week, one renewal is allowed. He or she can simply let me know on library day that he/she would like to bring the book back the following week.
• FORGOTTEN BOOK: If your child forgets his/her book on library day, he/she will be allowed to reserve a new book to pick up the next day when they return the previous one. If a book seems to be lost, please contact me as soon as possible so we can look for it at school, too!
• DAMAGE: Please keep books away from water, pets, babies, food, mud, etc. If that doesn’t work out, and the book gets damaged, please let me know as soon as possible so I can let you know how much it will cost to replace the book.
