Important Reminders
Important Reminders
Return your books the DAY BEFORE your class goes to the library.
Grades 1-5 may check out up to 2 books at a time. TK and Kindergarten may check out 1 book. Grades 3-5 may also check out a magazine in addition to books.
Bring back BOTH of your library books, including renewal books. You may only get new ones if you return them both.
If you check out a magazine, it must stay at school in your desk. Please keep it safe in the blue plastic folder when you're not reading it.
Want to finish reading your book? You may renew it by leaving a bookmark in it when you turn it in, then Mrs. King will know to check it back out to you. Make sure it's sticking out of the top so Mrs. King can see it!
Lost or Damaged Books
Lost or Damaged Books
You and your parent/guardian are responsible for replacing or paying for a book that was lost or damaged while it was checked out to you.
If you've lost or damaged your book, talk to Mrs. King about it. She'll help you figure out what to do next. She cares about you and it's going to be okay!
Please talk to Mrs. King or your student's teacher if replacing a book will be a financial hardship for your family.
The 5 Finger Rule
The 5 Finger Rule
Is a book a good fit for you? Check the 5 Finger Rule!
There are books in our library for TK through 5th grade and beyond, so that means some books might be too hard for you to read yet. Our library uses the 5 Finger Rule method to find books that are just the right fit for the reading level you're at.
What is a Call Number?
What is a Call Number?
Looking for a specific book? You need to know the call number!
Looking for a specific book? You need to know the call number!
A call number is like an address for where a book is shelved in a library.
You could go to most libraries in the USA, including our local Atascadero Public Library, and fiction would be in alphabetical order by author and nonfiction would be in order by Dewey Decimal System numbers. Our MR school library is set up the same way!
