Library Behavior Poem

When you come to the library Stay in your line Keep it quiet, nice and fine

When you come to the library Don’t jump and scream This would be really mean

And please, Make sure your hands and feet stay in place Do not invade other people’s space

When you come to the library Take your place on the rug, Don’t wiggle around like a bug

When you come to the library Wear a smile, All the while. Proper Library Behavior

Directions: Circle the happy or sad face to answer each question.

How does your teacher look when you walk like this?

What about this?

Are these libeary bears behaving properly?

The Library A Finger Play

I love the library (Hug body) It’s my favorite place.

Rows of books in every case. (With palms together to represent a closed book, open arms slowly)

Fat books – (Arms forward to make a fat circle) Thin books – (Palms flat against tummy) From wall to wall- (Move hands to left and then to the right)

If I read and read, I’ll read them all. (Open palms together to represent an open book)

Dear Parents

Today your child is bringing home a library book for the first time. We have been talking about how to take proper care of our library books and finding a safe place to keep our books at home. Please take a moment to review our book care rules on the back of this page. Students are allowed to sign out one book at a time and may keep them for one week. Often times they find it easier to remember if they bring the books back on the next library day. Videos are only signed out on weekends so that students have time to watch them. Videos are due back on the next library day. Thank you for your help in encouraging your child to use out library. I hope your child enjoys visiting the li- brary. If you are ever in the building and would like to stop by please feel free. I encourage parents to come in and see what we have to offer. You are welcome to come in during your child’s class time and see what we are working on.

Thank you, Sharon Stone, Librarian. Book Care Rules
