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.
