What's Happening in the Library?
Students have many opportunities throughout the year to visit the media center with their class and individually. Children are also encouraged to use the media center when they need to work on projects or check out additional reading material. Books are checked out for a one-week period and may be renewed as needed. Kindergarten through second grade students check out one book at a time, and third through fifth graders may have two books at a time, unless they need more for a special project. Children do not have to wait for their library day to exchange their books! We encourage children to "save" a book until the next day if they forget their books on their assigned library day - parents should never feel that they need to make a special trip to school to return a book on a certain day!
We use an automated check-out system as well as a computer "card catalog" at Deerwood. Many of our library skills lessons center around the use of this system. Our media curriculum is coordinated with the Houghton Mifflin and Rigby reading curriculum.
We invite all parents to stop in a browse at any time. (Try our computer catalog!) Please feel free to call if you have any questions about your child's books or special requests for books you'd like to have them check out. Parents are welcome to check out books, too.
