Welcome!
Welcome to the Sewanee Elementary School Library website!
The library supports all aspects of the curriculum and is a resource to students and teachers alike. Adventures and information are accessible to readers of all abilities and interests. Through weekly library instruction and open access to the library materials, students can explore new places and new ideas and spend some time with amazing characters.
The pages of the SES Library website are designed to help you understand and navigate the library and find just what you need.
Mission of the library
The mission of the Sewanee Elementary School Library is to support the development of lifelong learners and readers through collaboration with the classroom teachers, direct instruction of reading comprehension and information literacy skills, and by providing an abundance of age-appropriate reading materials in a wide array of genres. The resources of the library are used to help students develop the skills needed to ask insightful questions, find resources to answer those questions, critically think about the information they discover and enjoy the adventures offered through reading. When selecting library materials, reviews of books are consulted along with teacher input and evaluation of the curricular needs.
Library Check-Out Policies--What to know
Each in-person student is expected to check out at least one book each week during their "library day." Ideally, the book the student checks out should be one that he/she can practice reading. Mrs. Bruce helps suggest books for each student based on their interests and reading skills, but students make their own choices. Virtual learners may borrow a book from any library, including the SES library or choose to read an online book.
How many books can a student check out?
1 book per week for kindergarten students
2 books per week for grades 1-5
When are books due?
Books are due each week on the "library day" for each class. Students are expected to bring their book to the library each week.
Report cards may be held until the book is returned or payment is given for lost book.
What if my student loses a book?
Payment for the book (cash or check) is expected. No refunds are given for books later found.
