CHECKING OUT BOOKS
-
When your child visits the library with their class, they will be allowed to check out 1 book at a time. Each book is to be returned 1 week (7 days) from the day it is checked out. (Example: If your child checks out a book on Tuesday, it’s due the next Tuesday.)
-
If your child wants to continue reading the same book, they must bring it back to the library on their Library Day. Then they will be allowed to “renew” the book for 1 more week. This can be done only once with each book.
-
Your child will not be allowed to check out a new book until the previous book has been returned.
-
There are no fines for late books. However, lost books will need to be found, replaced or paid for. Damaged books will need to be replaced or paid for.
TIPS for SUCCESS:
-
Store books in your child’s backpack. This will make it easier to return to school.
-
When reading, make sure your child’s book is far away from drinks and food.
-
Sit and look through your child’s book with your child. Whether you’re looking at the pictures, your child is reading, you are reading, or you’re both reading - it’s fun!
BOOKS
-
Cuando su hijo visite la biblioteca con su clase, podrá retirar un libro a la vez. Cada libro debe devolverse 1 semana (7 días) después del día en que se retiró. (Ejemplo: si su hijo retira un libro el martes, debe devolverlo el martes siguiente).
-
Si su hijo desea seguir leyendo el mismo libro, debe devolverlo a la biblioteca el día de la biblioteca. Luego podrá "renovar" el libro por 1 semana más. Esto se puede hacer solo una vez con cada libro.
-
Su hijo no podrá retirar un libro nuevo hasta que haya devuelto el libro anterior.
-
No hay multas por los libros que se devuelven tarde. Sin embargo, los libros perdidos deberán buscarse, reemplazarse o pagarse. Los libros dañados deberán reemplazarse o pagarse.
CONSEJOS PARA EL ÉXITO:
-
Guarde los libros en la mochila de su hijo. Esto facilitará el regreso a la escuela.
-
Al leer, asegúrese de que el libro de su hijo esté lejos de bebidas y alimentos.
-
Siéntese y mire el libro de su hijo con él. Ya sea que esté mirando las imágenes, su hijo esté leyendo, usted esté leyendo o ambos estén leyendo, ¡es divertido!
