Every ES student at CAC is asked to bring his or her own library bag when they come to the library with their class. Cloth bags with CAC logos can be purchased at the CAC school store, but students can choose to bring a cloth bag from home. All bags should have the student's name clearly marked on the top.
Why do we insist on a library bag? Library bags can serve many purposes. They help
- to keep our books protected from damage
- to transport library items home and back
- to keep library books organized and gathered together
- to organize their materials at school and at home
- to protect DVDs in case the case opens and the disk falls out
We encourage our students to take books home in their library bags, enjoy and share the book at home, and then return the book to the library bag right away so that it is ready for re-reading or return.
Please note that students can return and checkout books on any day of the week, not just their library day. Students are welcome to come in on their own to the library before and after school, during lunch and afternoon recess. Provided they have no overdue books and that they are within their 10 book limit, they are welcome to check out at those times. Our library is also open on most Saturdays from 10 to 2. See the CAC detailed calendar or the ES library calendar widget on the sidebar to see the Saturday dates it is open. (It's open this weekend, Aug. 29!)
If students do not bring a library bag, we limit their checkout to 1 book and no DVDs, as it is easier to keep track of just one book.
We thank all students and parents for supporting the library collection by embracing the library bag rule.
