When does my child come to the library?

PreK--2nd grade students come to the library every week at a permanent time 
for alternating activities.  One week, students participate in an 
interactive read aloud and check out books.  The next week students turn 
in/check out more books.  To allow ample time for 3rd-5th grades to come to 
the library, permanent times are Tuesdays until 12:30, Wednesday and 
Thursday until 12:30. However, classes may come during any open time for 
lessons and/or research.  
3rd--5th grades come to the library as needed.  Students may come to the 
library to turn in/check out books any time during the day with the 
teacher's permission.
