Welcome Back!
Welcome back to the 2009-10 School Year! We have some great things in store for the whole Colears community! New books! Great old classics! Cool web sites! Please check here often to updates on book events, reading suggestions and more!
We have new check out polices for the 8/9s. It is really complicated, so ask them! But basically, we are attempting to let them check out three books this year, but only when they return all three. The 6/7s can check out two books and the 4/5s get one. BUT, we WELCOME parents to come in and check out books also - and they can check out four.
And for parents, we have 295 books on parenting in our library. Please come and check them out - literally!
Please help your students remember to bring their library books back on time so they can check out more books.
And all are welcome to come into the library before and after school to check.
Also ---- if you are interesting in volunteering in the library, please let us know. There is always more to do!
