Our librarian Mrs. Clark and
assistant Mrs. Zimmerman welcome you to the library. It
is the mission of the Elementary Library Media Program in the
Auburn School District to foster an appreciation of literature and
to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and
information.
ABOUT THE LIBRARY:
The library at
Dick Scobee houses thousands of books and resource materials, and
is home to our school's wonderful computer lab. Classes make
scheduled visits to the library once a week. Events such
as P.T.A. Meetings, After School Larsons Math, Health
Screening, Volunteer Tea, Class Pictures, and School Book Fairs
take place in the library.
Students' Library Visits:
Students in
all grades attend library classes weekly. During their
library time, students learn about library science, books, and
technology. Primary library classes typically begin with book
check out, a brief story time, then students complete an activity
in the computer lab. Intermediate classes also begin with
book check out, they practice keyboarding skills during this time.
Following check out students work on library science skills in the
computer lab. Check-out time is provided during every visit and
during recess time.
Check-out
Procedures:
Students check
out books during their library class time and may "keep"
checked-out materials for a period of one week. ECE and
Kindergartners check out one book per week; 1st and 2nd graders
check out one-two books per week; 3rd-5th graders check out two
books per week. Button students may check out an additional
book.
Library books
are always due on one's library day. Students must have their
checked-out materials returned in order to be "cleared" to
check-out on library day.
Overdue Books
:
There is no
fine for overdue books, however, students need to return any
overdue materials prior to being allowed to check-out again.
Notices will be sent home for any long overdue items (one or more
months) and students will miss recess until the books are returned
or paid for.
Book
Fines:
Book fines are
issued in cases where one's library book is lost or damaged. The
amount charged will be the replacement cost for that particular
book.
