I hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing Summer with plenty of time to read! The students start library visits on September 4. The learning and fun in the library is ready to start!
As I reacquaint myself with our returning students and get to know our new friends, they will reaquaint themselves with the library. Our first few weeks include going over the rules:
- Walk, don't run
- Be respectful to each other
- Be nice to the books
- Bring books back on time
- Use inside voices
The younger students learn about using shelfmarkers and about every book having a place. The older students "map" the library to refresh their memories and find the items they want. The 4th and 5th grades will be reintroduced to the self-checkout station, and I'm hoping to start the 3rd graders on the self-checkout too.
That's all for now. I'll have more information on library hours next time. Please contact me if you have any questions!
Happy Reading,
Maura Hennessy
Librarian
