Our Expectations:

Our library is a peaceful and quiet place.

   Everyone in this school has the right to expect one place to always be peaceful and quiet.

   It is the responsibility of all of us to keep this place a quiet and peaceful haven for reading and studying.

We take care of our library.

   We use a shelf marker

   We always push in our chairs

   We clean up when we are finished

We borrow, take care of and return books on time.

   Books are due every two weeks.

   Books can be renewed up once. That’s means a book could possibly be checked out to you for up to four weeks if it is not on hold for another student.

   If you lose or damage a book, you will need to pay the fine before checking out anymore materials.

Our Rules:

Listen Carefully- Listening is a matter of respect and demonstrates the effort you are putting forth to learn and participate in the classroom activity.

Follow Directions and Remain on Task- It is important to follow directions in a timely manner and complete the activity within the allotted time period.

Pick up After Yourself- The library is a place for everyone therefore, respect for the space and materials provided are a must by replacing the materials in their proper place.

Use Quiet Voices- The library is a place for people to read, think and study. Please respect all by whispering.

Use Check-Out Time Wisely- This is usually your only time for library check-out. Students are expected to check-out books on a regular basis. A portion of their grade is determined on library use and that requires using the library to find and check-out appropriate reading materials. If a student is not able to check-out due to overdue materials, he/she is still expected to find reading materials to read during the library period.
