Southampton Road Elementary School

Mission

The Southampton Road School Library Media Center strives to support the curriculum by providing for the informational and research needs of staff and students. We further seek to provide recreational reading material at varied levels and to suit the particular tastes of the student population.

Schedule

Students visit the library as a class each week to select reading materials. Research visits are scheduled on an as-needed basis, and may consist of a full class or small groups. This fixed/flexible schedule allows us to meet classrom needs when they occur, while maintaining a weekly presence to promote reading.

The class schedule for the 2008-2009 school year is as follows:

Overdue Policy

Students may borrow books for a period of one week. Books may be renewed if they are brought to the library. Once a book has been overdue for one month, borrowing privileges are suspended until the book is returned, replaced, or paid for.

Special Project
The library is the beneficiary of a special fund-raising project. Adopt-a-Book supports the growth of our collection in a uniquely personal way by encouraging donations to purchase books. The books are then inscribed with the donor’s name and special message to honor people or occasions.
