🐯 This week’s tip: Make Reading a Family Thing!

Show that reading is valued at home—keep books and magazines within reach, read aloud together, or have a quiet “family reading time.” When kids see adults enjoying reading, they’re more likely to see it as something enjoyable too.

 Welcome to the Cypress Springs Center for Learning and Innovation

 Library Schedule:

• Pre-K and Kindergarten students will visit the library every week.

• 1st–5th grade classes will come to the library every other week. 

• We are open each afternoon form 1:30-3:00 for students to check-out books

 Book Checkout & Returns:

• Students may check out books during their scheduled library time. (Pre-K through 1st grade: one book, 2nd-5th grade: two books)

• All books are due two weeks after they are checked out.

• If a book becomes overdue, families will receive a friendly reminder email.

• If a book is lost or damaged, fines can be paid using THIS LINK
