2. When is the library open?

and closes at 4:00.

books, read, puzzles or work on the
computers.
• The Eagle’s Nest Homework Center is
also open before school starts.

3. What do I do?
• Your Language Arts teacher will bring you
to the library every two weeks.
• When you come in, bring your books to
the circulation desk, barcodes facing up
and have a seat around the pond carpet
and wait for further instructions.

4. How do I take care of my books?
• LOVE your books! Hug your books when you
are carrying them. This helps you hold on to
them.
• Eating and drinking while reading your books is
not a good idea…I wonder why?
• Be careful when you are writing and have a book
open.
• Please keep books away from pets and younger
brothers and sisters…they like to chew!

5. Eating and Drinking while
reading is
NOT a good idea…….
It’s a good idea to keep books
away from

• Don’t forget them outside

6. Be Responsible

the pages.
•Be careful when writing
with a book open.
• Please keep books in a
safe place.

7. Keep books away from Pets

8. How long may I keep my books?
• Books may be kept for two weeks at a
time.
• If you did not finish reading it, you can re-
new it for another two weeks.
• If you finish before the two weeks, you can
bring it in and exchange it for another
book.

9. Things to remember…
• No running in the
library…I don’t want
anyone getting hurt.
• You may talk in the
library, but please use
an “inside voice”.
• Listen to all instructions
before leaving the carpet.
• Be considerate of your
classmates. Remember
the GOLDEN RULE.
• Use a shelf marker when
looking for a book.
• Please ask for help, that’s
what I am here for.

10. More important things to
remember…
• If you do not remember where you found a
book, please put it on one of the carts, put
in on the circulation desk or give it to one
of the adults in the library.
• Please do not put books back on the
shelves…we will do that.

11. Checking out
• Once you find the two books you would
like to check out, take them to the
circulation desk.
• Scan your BADGE first and then scan the
barcodes on the front of your books.
• After you check out, make sure you stamp
the “Date Due” slip on the back cover.

next available spot
