Curriculum 

As our students grow up, they will leave classrooms behind.  If we teach our students how to use a library, we are teaching them how to be resourceful--how to find great books to read and how to find answers to their own questions--well after childhood.   Please click on the links below for the District 65 Library Curriculum for each grade level.

Open Check-Out passes are in all 1st-5th grade classrooms and can be used on Tuesdays from 2:30-3:15.  If students need more 1:1 help finding a good book, or were absent/forgot books on their check-out day, this is an additional opportunity for them to have access to the Library.

When books are returned, new books may be checked out.  Books may be renewed.  If a book is lost, families are asked to pay what they can of the replacement cost so that a new book can be purchased for the library.  Students can see Ms. Murray to work off a fine.
