Welcome Back!
The information center at Bartlett is a GREAT place for students and staff and parents. We are open for business and are we busy! Already we have circulated over 500 books!
The students know the information center is a place of respect. They understand that when they come in to check out books there is often another class using the computer lab, researching, or even doing a math lesson. They also know that they need to respect the materials in the information center.
With the Bartlett Library circulating over 10,000 items last year the students learn about responsibility. I stress this in our library orientation. The books can only be circulated when the students return them.
Learning to be responsible for a library book is something that develops with your child. First graders are allowed to check out one book. They may keep it for one week. Second graders may check out two books, third graders, three and fourth graders may take up to four books at one time. We do not check out books over a child's limit, so if a child does not bring his/her book back he/she may not check out another one.
The Bartlett Library has received much support in recent years from the PTA, the Rotary Club, and the SAU. In addition to many books, proceeds from the PTA book fairs have purchased our beautiful rug and our new book display shelf. The points from the Campbell Soup Labels have provided new DVD's for our teachers to share in their classes. The Rotary Club has helped us tremendously in replacing our aging animal books. This community support has truly made a difference in creating a vibrant place for learning! Thank you so much! We are looking forward to a great year.
