It is right across from the library. I think we are a great compliment to one another. Together we formed a birthday book club to help grow a student's at-home library- each student gets a brand new, wrapped book on their birthday each year. PTO gave our students a book to kickstart summer reading. Our public library is doing a reading rally and book giveaway with our school this spring and they also have a friends of the library bookstore with 25 and 50 cent books. There are so many great resources for our students and I think it is important to instill responsibility and the knowledge that library funds, public and school, are limited and students are expected to take care of the book and return it or else pay to replace it. In another manner of speaking, I do a disservice to other patrons when I allow a student to negligently lose and damage books in rapid succession.

My administration gave me permission last summer to let each student in grades three-six take a book or two home for the summer, mostly because I could not bear to make a student turn in a book they were in the middle of at the end of June. I was pleasantly surprised that I did get most of the books back in September. I really like the idea of bags and will be interested to hear results! <br />Karen FronhofeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
