Garfield and Lincoln Library Media Centers
Garfield Library Media Center On-line Catalog
You can access the Garfield Library Media Center catalog by following this link: http://library.usd379.org/. Your student can look up a book or subject that they might be interested in while at home and come in the next school day to find it.
Students at Garfield come to the library every two weeks. They are allowed to check out three books at a time and at least one of the books should be a fiction book.
We meet for 50 minutes during their library time. The first 25 minutes is for checkout and silent reading. The second 25 minutes are for library lessons. We have started with our Dewey Decimal Unit.
Students can come to the library every morning before school to find a spot to read or to checkout new books if they finish before their classroom library day.
Lincoln Library Media Center On-Line Catalog
The Lincoln Library Media Center catalog can be accessed by following this link: http://library.usd379.org/ You can help your student find a just right reading book or a free choice book.
Students at Lincoln are allowed to check out two books. One book should be a good reading book and their second choice is a free choice book. A free choice book is any book in our library at any level that interests the student. The free choice book helps the students foster the love for reading. The students come in twice a week for checkout. One of the checkouts is 25 minutes long and the last 10 minutes we read a story. The first part of the semester we connected our stories to the Seven Habits.
Every other Friday your student comes to the library for library skills lessons. We build each year on what the students have learned the year before. The goal for all students is that they become independent library users by the time they reach the middle school.
