Danville Middle School LIBRARY
August 2024 in Review
We welcomed our DMS 2024-2025 Wolves back to campus! It's hard to believe we are already into September!
I would love to share the Library activity with our community each month! August is always a whirlwind! We welcomed all the ELA classes and complete orientations within the first two weeks. We get to introduce programming and invite the students to join Library Club!
The students and teachers always begin each year with enthusiastic reading goals, and I want to provide them the tools, resources and a collection of books to help them reach those goals! We have nearly 9,000 titles in our library... hoping to reach over 9,000 by the end of the school year, but we have so much to choose from already!
If you want to help your student find the enjoyment in reading, the best thing to do is to read with them at home. Even if it's only a single page, invite them to read to you!
Book Checkout & Return:
A student can check out THREE books at a time.
Books are due in 3 weeks, but you can extend your time. You will need to see Ms. Day or the library aides for help with extending time.
Ms. Day or the library aides will scan your books for checkout.
To return a book, all a student needs to do is place it on the "RETURN CART."
You can place a HOLD on a book to reserve it by logging into Class Link and selecting Destiny. Search for the book then click HOLD IT to reserve.
Library Environment:
The library is open all day to any patron. You will come with your classes sometimes, but many times you will visit on your own. You are welcome!
Please make a good attempt to not disturb others around you, but the library is a good place for academic discussion, collaboration, making new friends and discovering new interests. For patrons who want quiet places to read, we must remember to respect their environment as well.
Also, we are proud of our campus and our library! Please do your best to take care of the furniture, carpet and BOOKS!
