--------------------------------------
How long can I keep my library book?
Library books are checked out for 2 weeks and can be renewed for another 2
weeks. If your student has an overdue book you will receive a notice at the
beginning of every month.
--------------------------------------
What happens if I lose my library book?
Lost library books need to be paid for by students. Librarians are not able
to refund money if the book is paid for and later found. Students will not
receive their report card/year book if they have a missing library book at
the end of the school year. Damaged books will also need to be paid for by
students. A $10 processing fee is added to the cost of each book that is
lost.
--------------------------------------
What is a damaged library book?
Books with covers torn off, pages torn out, chewed by pets or have had food
or drink spilled on them, books with broken bindings are all considered
damaged books.
--------------------------------------
When can my student visit the library?
Your student will visit the library weekly with their class. Go to the
Library Class Schedule to view their scheduled time. The library is also
open before school from 7:50-8:10 a.m. and after-school from 2:50-3:15.
--------------------------------------
Why can't my child check out a young teen book?
We have a designated area of the library set aside for our middle school
students. If your child wants to read a particular title we have in our
young teen collection(and they are 5th grade and under), they are welcome to
check out that title at the Livermore Public Library.
--------------------------------------
What is the AR Race?
Each class works together through reading books and taking AR test to earn
points for their class. This race is designed to encourage children to
read. It is fun to see their competitive spirit between the classes. This
race runs from September to May of each year. This years theme is MOUNTAIN
CLIMBING!

--------------------------------------
What is this about a TRICYCLE race?
Our schoolwide goal for AR points is 40,000 points. If we reach our goal,
each TOP point earner per grade level (1-8th grade) will have the
opportunity to RACE Principal Aderman in a tricycle race in early June.
These 8 students will also be able to "decorate" the principal's hair prior
to the race. We have allowed for an "out" for the student. They can elect
to have their teacher race on their behalf. The only way to earn this race
is to READ, READ, READ!!! Earn those 40,000 AR points!!
