Remember: You can see the books you have checked out and when they are due.
Log into the Library Catalog with your student number and your password. Choose the "My Info" tab.
No. We have over 20,000 books and more than 1,000 students. All students have access to all areas of the library. I am not able to read every book in our library or see every book that goes out with every child. State-endorsed librarians selected books to cover a wide range of interest and reading levels and evaluated titles with professional reviews before adding them to the library. Part of library education is learning how to choose a "just right" book. The best way to make sure that your students are checking out books that are right for them in reading level and content is to talk to them about what they are reading. If you do not believe a book is appropriate for your child, he/she can return it and check out a different book before school the next day.
The American Library Association's Bill of Rights states, "The school library media program plays a unique role in promoting intellectual freedom. It serves as a point of voluntary access to information and ideas and as a learning laboratory for students as they acquire critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed in a pluralistic society. Although the educational level and program of the school necessarily shape the resources and services of a school library media program, the principles of the Library Bill of Rights apply equally to all libraries, including school library media programs. Under these principles, all students have equitable access to library facilities, resources, and instructional programs."
