Jim Stone Elementary Media Center Info
Welcome to new school year! Reading is one of the most important skills your child will learn in school, and like all skills, improvement comes with practice. The Jim Stone Elementary library provides a wide variety of books for students to borrow for reading practice, information, and enjoyment. Each week your student’s class will visit the library to select a book, and you can help your student by reading it together and encouraging your child to spend time reading at home every day. Part of the excitement of the library is choosing a library book, so students are free to choose what interests them.
*Students are responsible to handle library books with care. Please keep books away from pets, food, all liquids, and eager younger siblings.
*Students may check out one library book at a time, and it may be kept for one week. A book may be checked out again if the student is not finished reading it. There are no fines for overdue books, but please encourage your child to return his or her book each week.
*Any book damage should be reported to Mrs. Bentley as soon as possible so she can attempt repairs.
*Mrs. Bentley tries to send out overdue reminders about once a quarter. These are simply reminders that a book is checked out and needs to be returned. The book does not have to be paid for if it is returned. Sometimes accidents happen, so if a library book is lost or damaged while checked out to your child, the book must be replaced. The book can be paid for by check (made out to Jim Stone Elementary) or cash (correct change is appreciated) for the original retail price. Once the book is paid for, your child’s account will be cleared and he or she may resume library checkout.
*If your family plans to move out of the Jim Stone Elementary zone, please return all books before moving.
*Jim Stone Elementary offers lots of resources you can use at home. Take a moment to look at the library website for access to our catalog, ebooks, and research databases like World Book.
