Library Book Care
Please help your child keep their library books safe at
home. In class we have discussed keeping books away
from pets, young children, food, and drinks.
One of the most common causes of library book damage is
a leaking water bottle in their backpack. Please encourage
students to keep their water bottles in their lunch box or an
outer pocket of their backpack.
If a book is damaged, please do not try to fix it on your own.
We have special tape and glue made specifically for this
use in the library. Students should return their books with a
“book hospital” slip inside.
Thank you!
What do students learn in the library?
The Neshaminy library curriculum focuses on information
literacy skills. Students will learn to find reliable information
sources and share what they have learned with classmates.
Using iPads and Chromebooks, students will develop
strong technology and collaboration skills. Students will
also learn to navigate the library to find books for
information and entertainment. All of the skills practiced in
the library help students become productive citizens and
lifelong learners.
Borrowing Library Materials
Students in grades K-4 will borrow one or two library books
at a time, depending on grade level. Books will be due back
on the day of your student’s library class. There are no
fines for late library books, however, families are required to
pay for lost or damaged materials. Please help your
students to return library books on the day they are due, so
other students may enjoy them. Students who do not return
their books will be unable to check out a new book until the
materials are returned.
