Questions about checking out books.
Today my child had library, but said she had to sit on the bench. Why?
Students check out new library books during the first 20 minutes of library class. If a student forgot to bring back her previously checked out library book then she has to wait in a supervised area until the class has finished checkout.Back to Top
My child returned his book, but he hasn't brought a new one home.
Some of the K and 1st grade students don't checkout over the long holiday breaks. Other times a student may have been pulled from Resource Class to attend to other academic needs. Or, the previous library book may be sitting in the child's locker, cubby, or desk. If you can't get a clear answer from the child,call the school and ask to be connected to the library. Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Langston will check the status of the book and recheck the shelves.Back to Top
No. A student cannot checkout until the current book is returned, but no fines are charged. If the book is lost or damaged, then the book must be paid for.Back to Top
What are the rules for checkout?
Number of books: K-1 is allowed to check out one book at a time; 2-4 gets two. Exchanging books: If a student has finished reading and taking an AR test on the library book(s), then he/she may return them at a time convenient to the teacher,and get new books. During scheduled classroom visits to the library,all books must be returned or renewed.Back to Top
My child doesn't have library class on the same day each week. Help!
With so many students at ACES, the resource classes are on a 7- day school rotation. Since library class is different every week, students are instructed to keep their library books in their bookbag or school desk when not reading. This will ensure that students have their library books with them so matter what day it is.Back to Top
