Library

Hi Friends! I am Ms. Jones and I am your school librarian. Let me tell you a little bit of background about myself. I am a native Californian growing up in the beautiful Bay Area. I moved to Texas in my last year of college. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) with a BA in Early Childhood Education. I later returned to UTA earning a MS degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I then went on to Texas A & M Commerce to become a certified Library Media Specialist. I love learning and challenging myself. My hobbies are Pilates, dog cuddles, hanging out with my kids, cooking and hiking.

Library Expectations, Book Checkout, and Fines

A verbal warning will be given along with redirection. A phone call home will be made if the behavior continues after twoverbal warnings.
Students will visit the library during their CAMP time. Books are due every week when they visit the library. Students have the option to renew their book or get a new book unless the book has been put on hold by another student.
Kindergarten and 1st-grade students may borrow one book during their library time.
2nd-grade students may borrow one book. As the year progresses, students will be allowed to check out a second book.
3rd-4th grade students may borrow two books. One fiction and one nonfiction. 
Library books stay at school for independent reading time. 
If a book is lost or damaged please let me know and I will send home a printout that tells how much the replacement copy will cost. WE ACCEPT CASH, CHECKS made out to Louise Cabniss, or you can pay through SKYWARD. If sending CASH it needs to be exact change. Please make sure to include your child's name along with the title of the book when paying for a lost or damaged book. We do not give refunds so if you find a lost book you can keep it or donate it to the school.

VOLUNTEERS

Interested in volunteering?  Louise Cabaniss is very appreciative of the parents, community members, and business companions who volunteer at our school. Volunteering at our school is a great way to become involved in the education process. 

Because the safety of our students and staff is our top priority, those wanting to become MISD volunteers must go through security measures before serving in the district. Click on the link for more information.
