Welcome to the Library!

Students at Washington and Lincoln Schools will visit the Library for 42 minutes each week.

Reading is one of the most important skills your child will learn in school. Like all skills, improvement comes with practice. The Lincoln and Washington School Libraries provide a wide variety of books for students to borrow for reading practice, information, and enjoyment. Your child’s class will visit the school library weekly to select books. You can help your child by reading to or with him/her and asking questions about the story. Encourage your child to spend time reading at home every day. Remember, children who are in the early stages of reading enjoy reading the same book over and over again! I am always here to help with book recommendations! 

• Students are responsible to handle library books with care, since they are for everyone to share. Please keep books away from pets, food, and all liquids.

• Any book damage should be reported to the library as soon as possible so we can attempt repairs.

• Library books may be borrowed for one week, then must be returned. A book may be renewed (checked out again) if the student is not finished reading it. An overdue (late) book means a student cannot borrow another book until the overdue book is returned.

• If a book is lost, payment toward a replacement may be requested from the parents/guardians depending on the age of the book and if there are duplicates in the library.
