                     Westside Library Rules     2007 - 2008                 

Welcome to Westside School Library from Donna McCrory, Westside’s librarian.  The students call me Miss Donna.  This is the 16^th year I have been the librarian at Westside and my 21^st year to teach at Westside.  My husband, Andy Scruggs, teaches 8^th grade at Macon County Junior High.  Students in 4^th grade, Ms. Horton’s, Ms. Denning’s, and Ms. Griggs’s classes will check out and return a library book on Monday of each week.   Students in 5^th grade, 3^rd grade, Ms. Willis’s, Ms. Pedigo’s, and Ms. Templeton’s classes will check out a library book on Tuesday of each week.  Kindergarten students will check out books after Christmas:  Ms. Budge’s and Ms. Flynn’s classes on Monday and Ms. Goad’s class on Tuesday.  We call the day we check out and return books “book day”.   Each student can check out one book for one week.  Overdue books include books not returned on book day by students present or absent.  Overdue books should be returned to the library between 2:00 – 2:30 and another book can then be checked out.   No overdue fines will be charged unless a book is overdue for 4 weeks.  A fine of 10 cents per school day may be charged for books overdue longer than 4 weeks.  Fines will be charged for books that are damaged and any student who loses a book must pay to replace the book.  Fines can be paid in the library between 2:00 – 2:30 daily or on book day.  No student can check out a library book if they owe a fine or have an overdue book.  Students who transfer to Westside from another school may not get a library book until all debts are paid at the school last attended.  Please send a note if you do not want to be responsible for damages or lost library books and I will not allow your child get a library book.  When every student in the class who has a library book checked out returns it on book day, we say the class has no overdue books that day.  When a class has had no overdue books six times, that class will get to eat lunch with me in the library on a Friday.  If students will leave their library books at school the day before their book day, then the books will be there on even if a student is absent.  This will help the class have no overdue books. Your child will also come to the library on Wednesday or Thursday of each week for library skills.  Skills include lessons on book care, library organization, library references, stories, songs, films, puppets, and other activities related to books and libraries.   I look forward to helping your child select books in the library this year.  Thank you for helping us keep our library books in good condition so we can all enjoy them longer.  Remember:  reading with children is the best way to improve their reading skills.
 

Thank you,

Donna McCrory, Westside School Librarian
