Each grade will visit the LMC once every 6 days for a 30-minute library skill lesson. Students will be presented with story times based on popular themes and authors. Older students will dive into library skills such as book location, card catalog usage, dictionary and encyclopedia work, and other research related topics.
Overdue Books:
The Lawrence Lawson LMC allows books to be checked out for a two-week period. If a book is not returned, an overdue notice is sent home. The LMC sends notices home every two weeks. The library does not access a fine for late books but if a book is not returned, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of the child to pay replacement cost for the book. Also, if a book is returned damaged, a fine will be assessed based on the type of damage. Remember, although we teach children to be responsible it is the ultimate responsibility of the parents to return books in good shape.
Book Limits:
Kindergarten: 1 book, then 2 books after showing good library citizenship.
First Grade: 1 beginning reader book and 1 book of choice
Second Grade: 1 chapter book (at their level) and 2 books of choice
Third Grade: 1 chapter book (at their level) and 2 books of choice
The Library Director has the option of changing these check out limits based on past responsibility and/or research projects.
Book Care:
All
students will learn or review book care at the beginning of the school year.
Checking out books is a privilege. Students must be responsible and take good
care of their books so that others may enjoy them later. Any extra effort on your part to help keep our books safe would
be greatly appreciated by us and by future readers.
