Library Media Center

Angela M. Palmer, Media Specialist

The Bakersville School library serves all students, staff, and parents of the school. Our Teacher Resource center is equipped with various tools and student activities, as well as books and magazines for professional development. The general collection, primarily used by students, currently has over 10,000 volumes of fiction, non-fiction, reference, magazines, and everybody books for all ages.

I am looking forward to an exciting school year sharing my love of reading and books with your student. Every class visits the library once a week for 45 minutes. Kindergarten students may borrow one (1) book that will remain in their classroom each week. First grade students may borrow one (1) book that will remain in their classroom each week during the first trimester. Second and 3^rd grade students may borrow two (2) books; and 4^th and 5^th grade students may borrow three (3) books. All books are due back the following week unless there is a holiday or school vacation. There are no fines for late books. However, there will be a charge to replace a lost or damaged book. Please remind your child to:

have clean hands when reading;

use a bookmark or piece of paper--no pens, rulers, or other items that may damage the book;

find a quiet, well-lit place to read;

keep books out of reach of pets and younger siblings;

send damaged books to school for repair;

and return books on time so that others may enjoy them.
