Welcome to the Library!
I am are excited to welcome your child to the Bassette Library! The library is a wonderful place for students to explore new books, practice research skills, and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Below are a few important procedures to help you and your child know what to expect:
Library Visits:
Each class visits the library once a week.
Annette Crothers
Library Media Specialist
Mission: Nurturing a love of reading by collaborating with teachers to deliver engaging instruction that teaches all students to skillfully and ethically use and create information.
Vision: Growing the joy of reading, learning, creating, and sharing.
Book Checkout:
Students in Grades K–1 may check out 1 book at a time (Kindergarten books remain in the classroom).
Students in Grades 2–5 may check out 2 books at a time.
Books are due back the following library day but can be renewed if more time is needed.
Book Care:
Please help your child find a safe place at home to keep library books.
Remind your child to handle books with clean hands and keep them away from food, pets, and water bottles.
If a book is lost or damaged, please contact me so we can work out a solution together.
Encouraging Reading at Home:
Take time to read with your child and talk about their book choices.
Ask questions, share your own favorite stories, and celebrate their reading progress.
I am looking forward to a year full of reading adventures! If you have any questions about library procedures or how to support your child’s reading, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Cultural Representation
At the Bassette Library, we want students to see themselves in the books they read. Students are able to read books that represent their culture.
Our book collection contains a variety of books about diverse cultures, traditions, and people.
