Library Schedule

The library is on an A / B schedule. Students will come with their teacher on alternating weeks. Library time will include a read aloud and/or lesson and the opportunity for checkout.

How do readers return library books?

I encourage students to return their books as soon as they are finished. They do not need to wait until their library day.

  • Students may return books ibrary any time they have finished a book.
  • Students may return books at the start of their library time.

How can we find out what library books are checked out?

  • On Sunday of a student’s library week, Mrs. Finnegan sends an email that lists all the books your reader has checked out.
  • You can check the Source under library for books checked out.
  • Students may check what books they have out in our Destiny Catalog. They will need to login to Destiny with their school username (NO @seattleschools.org) and password and click Mystuff and then Checkouts.

When is my readers library day?

Click on the grade group to see when your reader comes to the library.

Because of McDonald’s mid-day switch, I have included the homeroom to help with knowing your readers library day.
