 Ask the Librarian

 Questions about checking out books.
  1. Today my child had library, but said she had to sit on the bench. Why?
  2. My child returned his book, but he hasn't brought a new one home.
  3. Are overdue fines charged?
  4. What are the rules for checkout?
  5. My child doesn't have library class on the same day each week. Help!

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 until the class has finished checkout.

My child returned his book, but he hasn't brought a new one home.

The library book may be sitting in the child's locker, cubby, or desk. Ask the
child to check these places. 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.

Are overdue fines charged?

No. A student cannot checkout until the old book is returned, but no fines are
charged. If the book is lost or damaged, then the book must be paid for.

What are the rules for checkout?

Number of books: K-1 is allowed to check out one book at a time; 2-5 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.

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.
