The SPES Library is open to students from 7:00 am until 2:30 pm. Students come to the library for classes on a 6-day rotation. However, we have open library throughout the day thanks to our Media Clerk, Mrs. Henderson.
Each student from Kindergarten to fifth grade has access to the library.
Policies for student checkout are as follows:
Kindergarten and first grade students get 1 book at a time.
Second grade gets to have 2 books
Third grade begins the year with 2 books but, at the end of the first nine weeks they will be allowed 3 books.
Fourth grade students can check out 3 books
Fifth grade students can check out 4 or more books
We love for our students to check out as many books as possible. If a student finishes a book before their class library day, they may come to the library at a time their classroom teacher chooses to get another book. We have students who visit the library almost every day!
One thing that we are trying to teach our students is a sense of community and responsibility regarding library materials. We thoroughly discuss taking care of library books.
Books that are lost or completely damaged must be paid for before a student will be allowed to check out another book. If a lost book is found and returned, the money will be refunded for books that are more than $10.
If you have any questions about the library please contact Mrs. Cooper at leslie_cooper@charleston.k12.sc.us
