Welcome to Hines Elementary Library! This school year is going to be full of learning through traditional books, digital platforms, makerspaces and so much more. Our library provides students the opportunity to explore and learn about our world's rich history and diverse cultures by simply stepping into this magical place. This website can be used by clicking the links to the left. Please reach out to me if you need assistance with anything.
Policies and Procedures
Each student is expected to read every night for at least 20-30 minutes. The library is here to help children find exactly what they want to read.
Students may come to the library before and after school to check out or return books. Each class visits the library weekly for lessons and checking out new books.
Circulation
Books may be checked out for a two-week period.
Students may renew a book for an additional 2 weeks if they bring it in.
If students have overdue books, they may not checkout new books if they have overdue books.
Overdue, lost, or damaged books:
No fines are charged if books are returned.
Lost books must be replaced or paid for by the end of the school year.
Damaged books will be repaired if possible. If books are damaged so that repair is not possible, parents will be asked to pay to replace the book.
Hines Elementary School has partnered with York County Library to help children and their families gain access to books, digital resources, and events. If HES is does not have what your child is looking for, check with the public library.
A little about me...
My name is Gena Hines and I am a mother to 2 amazing young men. My oldest is starting his sophomore year at The Citadel and my youngest started his senior year at Fort Mill High. I started my 9th year as a 3rd grade teacher at Pleasant Knoll Elementary school. This week will mark 25 years with my amazing husband.
I am passionate about reading and getting children excited about it as well. I love getting lost in books and discussing them with others. My favorite memories in school involved sitting on the carpet in front of the teacher while she read. Today, I love the gasps and "oh mans" that come when I close the book at the end of a chapter during my own read aloud. I love the challenge of finding THAT book for reluctant readers.
When I'm not working, I love hanging out with my boys, doing puzzles (jigsaw & sudoku), drawing, and relaxing with my husband.
Fun Fact: Right out of high school, I joined the US Air Force and served 4 years as an Engineering Assistant. Three of those years I worked in the Drafting and Surveying shop and the last year of my enlistment I was a Construction Inspector. I was stationed in Grand Forks, North Dakota for my first year and a half, a year in Osan Air Base in Korea (this is where I met my husband) and finished my time in Pope AFB in North Carolina.
