Library Form
Things are going along swimmingly at Lincoln. I just wanted to share this form, that I think is great. Each student takes home a copy of this form at the beginning of the year and brings it back after both they and their parent have signed it. I think it does a good job of explaining the role of the library in the school for both the student and the parent. It also serves to help get all the books back on time!
The form is as follows:
Welcome to the Lincoln School Library! We are so excited to be able to share all the wonderful books (both new and old) with all the Lincoln students. This year the theme for Lincoln Elementary and the school library is SPACE which stands for Stories Produce Adventure, Curiosity, & Excitement.
Students from Kindergarten through 6th grade have an opportunity to attend library classes each week with their classrooms. Each week the students check out books and learn a variety of library skills and responsibilities including:
• Learn the different skills needed to use the library effectively.
• Find and appreciate interesting books to read for pleasure and
learning.
• Locate information in the library for research.
• Practice checking out, reading, and then returning books on or
before library day.
• Develop the responsibility of taking care of all books, especially
books that belong to the library.
• Appreciate the library and the variety of literature and
information found in a library.
• Reimburse Lincoln Library if books are damaged or lost.
The person who checks out the book is responsible for those books.
We feel it is important for every student to practice the above library skills and responsibilities regularly. Therefore, we would like each student and parent to sign below to show that they have read and understand the above responsibilities. Again, we are thrilled to be back again in the library to share all the wonderful books and information we have in our Lincoln Library with each and every student.
Sincerely,
Lincoln Librarians & Library Assistant
