Welcome to the Library
Machetanz Library Media Center
Reading is a foundational skill for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment. The degree to which students can read and understand text in all formats (e.g., picture, video, print) and all contexts is a key indicator of success in school and in life. As a lifelong learning skill, reading goes beyond decoding and comprehension to interpretation and development of new understandings. Standards of the 21st Century Learner, AASL. 2008.
BOOK CIRCULATION
Students can check out books during their library class time. All grades will have library once every three school days for 45 minutes. Kindergarten is allowed 1 book at a time. 2nd through 5th graders are allowed to check out 2 books in addition to any classroom books and materials. Replacement costs of lost or damaged books must be paid before by the end of the school year.
