Big Week for Kindergarten!

Get ready Kindergarteners! This will be your first week to check out a book!  When you get your first book, I will give you a plastic Library bag to keep your book in.  


Please don't throw this bag away.  Keep your library book in it - the bag will protect your book and keep it clean and dry.


When you come back to library the next week, bring your book and your bag.  You can return your library book and get a new one, put it in your bag and you'll be all ready to take it home!

Welcome to Westbrook's Library Media Center!

Hello Westbrook Students! Welcome back to school!

Book checkout will begin the week of September 14. We have tons of new books, keep your eyes peeled for them ... every week I'll be putting more out in display!

Checkout rules:

• Grades Kindergarten and 1: Students are allowed to check out 1 book.
• Grades 2-6: Students are allowed to check out 2 books.
• Students are allowed to check out an additional book as needed for school projects, such as teacher assigned book reports or research projects. Books for these projects are in addition to the 2 "pleasure reading" books they are allowed each week.
• Remember your library book return day ... you will only be allowed to check out new books if you have returned the ones you checked out before.

Computer Lab:

• Students in grades 4-6 must have usernames and passwords memorized.
• Students in grades 1-3 will be able to find their usernames and passwords on index cards on my desk, but if they memorize their usernames and passwords, that's great!
• Students should leave the lab the way they found it ... chairs pushed in, no papers, pencils, etc. left in the lab.
