Library Media Center

Mission Statement of the Fry School Library Media Program

The mission of the Fry School Library Media Program is to ensure that students are effective users of books and information.  The library media center strives to provide the school community with a wide range of materials on appropriate levels of difficulty that will encourage growth in knowledge and establish a life-long love of reading.

Books

Students visit the library once a week for book check-out. All books are due when the class returns the following week. They may be renewed twice if the student isn't finished.

 Lost and Damaged Books

Any student with late, lost, or damaged books will not be allowed to check out new materials from the library until all books are returned or paid for. If a book is lost or damaged, the student and parents will be notified of the fine amount due, if any. Students may be required to leave library books at school in lieu of a fine.

 

All books are assessed at current market value and are purchased with professional library bindings. Books purchased privately will not be accepted as replacements.

 

Fines will be added to the student's Power School account and can be paid online. Unfortunately, we no longer accept cash or check payments. The school office can help facilitate a payment if you need assistance.

 

Please, do not attempt to repair damaged books at home.  Bring it to the library as soon as possible so I can repair the book. Many issues can be fixed if brought in right away!

Please help your child with the following reminders:

 

Remind your child to wear their student ID everyday, as this is part of their uniform and required to check out books.

 

Remind your child that books are to be kept in their backpack when they are not reading them. This will help with keeping the books out of reach of pets or little siblings that might ruin or damage the books and it will ensure that students have their books on their library day.

 

Remind your child to have clean hands when reading, to not eat or drink while reading, and to use a proper bookmark.

 

We strive to instill a sense of responsibility while a book is in the possession of a student. This means that the student is responsible for caring for the book, renewing, and returning it on time so that others may borrow it.
