Library Hours
The library is open daily from 7:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., including all lunch shifts. Students do not need a pass before and after school, but a pass is required during school hours. Ask the librarian or any teacher for a pass.
Library Staff
Mrs. Morris has been Morehead's librarian since 2002. She has a B.A. in English and American Literature and a M.S. in Library Science. She taught reading and English for twelve years before becoming a librarian. She loves spending time with her husband, her son, and her dogs and cats. She also enjoys working puzzles and playing games. Here is a picture of two of her animals - TC and Kallie!
Ms. Perez is the part-time library paraprofessional. She has worked at Morehead for many years, and is dedicated to the library. She enjoys spending time with her family, especially her granddaughter.
Checkout Policies
Students may check out two books for up to four weeks. Back issues of magazines may be checked out for one night at a time. Audio books may be checked out once a signed parent permission form is turned in. These forms are available in the library.
The EPISD requires that students be charged for items that are turned in late. The fee is 10 cents per day per item. The maximum charge per item is $2.00. Students with any overdue materials will not be permitted to check out again until all overdue items are returned. Students with fines (but no overdue books) will be limited to checking out one book until all fines are paid.
Upcoming Events & Updates
Reading Raiders: Read 15 or more books and receive a certificate at the end of the year. For each additional 10 books, you will receive a gold seal. Read over 50 books and receive a medal in addition to your certificate! Books read over the summer do count. Pick up a Reading Raider form in the library today. Wow! We already have over 50 students who have turned in page one for the 2011-2012 Reading Raiders club. Way to Go!
Poetry Contest: Every year our students have the opportunity to submit an entry in the El Paso Public Library Poetry Contest. Entries are due by this Thursday, January 26!
