Selections must adhere to the District Instructional Materials Policy. Please contact the Elementary Library Coordinator, if needed, to select appropriate materials.

The purpose of these weeks is to reinforce library rules and routines to make sure younger students have mastered them. Use this time to emphasize areas the students may have struggled with such as lining up quietly, behavior during circulation, raising their hands to talk, using shelf markers, bathroom and drink signals, book care, finding books, etc.
