What happens if an item from the library is lost or damaged?
Lost or damaged books must be paid for in order to clear student records. Students will be asked to submit payment for lost or damaged items depending on the replacement cost of the book. You may submit payment for lost or damaged books by cash or check made out to Prosper ISD. School bucks can also be used to pay for lost or damaged library books School Bucks Link
What reading programs does the library sponsor?
Special reading encouragement programs are offered throughout the year for all students.
Kinder - 2nd graders may participate in the Texas 2x2 Reading Program and 3rd - 5th graders may participate in the Texas Bluebonnet Reading Program. (See the Texas Reading List Page for more details.) The library also runs two book fairs, one in the fall and one in the spring.
What do students learn in the library?
Our library program is an extension of the classroom and information skills are taught within the context of the classroom curriculum. All students in Prekindergarten and Kindergarten will participate in a bi-weekly storyteller and 1st through 5th grade will participate in research, hands-on learning, and learn to select good fit books at the point of need using a co-teaching model. Our goal is to help students develop the skills necessary to locate, analyze, evaluate, interpret, and communicate information and ideas.
