Back to School Newsletter
Welcome back, Kingston Elementary School!
Welcome Back!
I'm Mrs. Sutton, the school media specialist. This will be my fourth school year at Kingston and I am so excited to share our library with your children.
Destiny
Our library catalog -- called Destiny -- is available online. The catalog can be accessed from home or school by students and staff.
If we are missing a book that you would like to read, please make sure to fill out a Book Recommendation Form.
Book Borrowing
All students are given time during library class period to find and borrow books for school assignments or personal interest.
For Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade:
- Students are allowed to borrow one book each week
- Each book is checked out for one week
- Students can renew each book twice
- Popular titles can only be renewed once
- Books on hold for someone else cannot be renewed
- The previous book must be returned in order to check out a new one
For 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade:
- Students are allowed to borrow two books each week
- Each book is checked out for one week
- Students can renew each book twice
- Popular titles can only be renewed once
- Books on hold for someone else cannot be renewed
- The previous book must be returned in order to check out a new one
If you need to borrow more books, just ask Mrs. Sutton.
If you find a book that you would like to read, but it is checked out, the book can be placed on hold for you through Destiny. Mrs. Sutton will place the holds for kindergarten, 1st graders, and 2nd graders, but 3rd - 5th graders will learn how to do it themselves this year!
We also have audiobooks, DVDs, and e-books available for all grade levels.
Lost or Damaged Books
If a book gets lost or becomes damaged, please contact Mrs. Sutton at by phone at (856) 667-0986 x8602 or by e-mail at nsutton@chclc.org.
Databases
Our school library provides free databases for students to use. All of these can be used at school or at home to help with homework, answer questions, or curate curiosity.
Links to these services, as well as the log-in information, can be found on our library website.
