Welcome to the West Vincent Library!
Image 

The mission of the library media program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. This mission is accomplished in the following ways:

- by providing intellectual and physical access to materials
- by providing instruction to foster competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing, and using information and ideas, and
- by working with other educators to design learning strategies to meet the needs of individual students.

  Library Procedures

 
- Grades 1-6 may check out 2 books at a time; kindergarten may check out 1 book at a time.
- Check-outs are for two weeks. Due Date cards are in the front of each book.

- Books may be renewed once if students are not finished reading them.
- The library helps teach responsibility. We expect students to return or renew books on time.

- If students lose or damage a book, they just need to let Mrs. Riggs or Mrs. Valentine know—they will not “get in trouble”! 
- Lost or damaged books must be paid for, not simply replaced. We order extra-sturdy library bindings, so we must order them from a library supply company.
- If a lost book is found and returned during the same academic year, a refund will be issued.
- All students attend weekly library classes. During class we focus on navigating the library, choosing a “just right” book, caring for books, research skills, technology topics, and library procedures.
