4K - 1st Grade: 1 book

2nd Grade: 2 books

3rd - 5th Grade: 3 books

Students may check out a book(s) and keep it for one (1) week.

You may renew a book if you would like more time with it, but we ask that you renew no more than two (2) times for the same book to allow other students an opportunity to check it out. 

Atlases and reference materials may not be checked out.

If you have book suggestions for the library, please let Mr. Ballinger know!

The library is a center of quiet learning and productivity. We engage in large-group read-alouds, collaborate in learning centers, and do research activities. 

We treat all patrons with courtesy and respect. Please maintain "inside voices," walk at all times, and ask for help if you need it. Respect the library property (books, computers, furniture, etc).

If misbehavior occurs, Mr. Ballinger will use a 1-2-3 warning system, giving students a chance to change the behavior. On the 3rd offense, the student will be excluded from all library activity until they are asked to return. Further or more serious offenses will be referred to administration. 

LIBRARY RULES

Listen to the librarian.

If you need help, just ask.

Be kind to books & each other.

Read and talk quietly.

Always walk, never run.

Return (or renew) books on time.

Your mess? Clean it up.

No food or drink (other than water) is allowed in the library.

Chromebooks will be issued to all students and are available for school-related use only. Students must follow the Greenville County Schools Student Acceptable Policy Agreement. Computer games, downloading, instant messaging, and personal e-mails are not permitted.

We sponsor many programs and initiatives throughout the school year. Students are encouraged to participate in Battle of the Books (4th and 5th Grade), ENG News team (4th and 5th grade), Book Fair, Reading All-Stars, Read Across America Week, Poetry Slam (3rd-5th grades), and Summer Reading Program. 

We do not charge late fees, but if a book is lost or damaged, students are responsible for paying the replacement cost.

Students will receive overdue notices for books regularly. 

Mr. Ballinger and Mrs. Nionquit are here to serve and assist you with planning and co-teaching, within the classroom or in the Media Center, lessons covering research, literacy, technology, & informational skills. Please contact us if you are interested in discussing a lesson or project.
