Happy Fall

September Poems

We have spent September classes going over the procedures for using the library media center and computer lab.

Students have practiced using shelf markers to help keep the media center books in order and how to determine if a book is right for them.

We will finish up orientation of the media center this week by reviewing the rules generated last week and focusing on spine labels.

We will talk about the differences between digital books and print books.

For practice, we’ll go to the “Shelve-It” game

 

Borrowing Books From The Media Center

Posted on by under Orientation, September, Week 1

Dear Henry Ford Folks:

Welcome to the 2019-20 school year!

Your child will be visiting the school library media center and will soon be bringing home a book he or she has checked out. Your child will be learning how to select and use library materials. We will be discussing responsible use and correct treatment of library books.

In order to make this a successful and enjoyable experience for everyone, you can help your child in the following ways:

  • Encourage your child to share books with you. Read together.
  • Find out your child’s scheduled days for library visits and prepare for them. This is a special weekly occasion. Most children look forward to returning books they’ve borrowed and picking out new ones.
  • Have a special place to keep library books in your home. Keep them away from possible damage by younger children and pets.
  • If a book is accidentally damaged, please do not attempt to repair it at home. We have special tapes and other supplies that are made especially for book repair.

Please be aware that Dearborn Public School’s district policy states that current replacement cost for books that are lost or damaged beyond reasonable repair will be charged and payment is expected during the same calendar year.

If for any reason you should not want your child to check out books for home use, please inform us in writing.

Thank you for your cooperation. We know you and your child will enjoy this experience.

Mrs. Harrison
