Library Update
Woowhoo- the TC Library is open!!!!!
Our first full month of library activity was very different from anything we have ever seen. Even though the library has been lonely without our awesome students, we have continued to check books out. Whether our students have received their books curbside or delivered to their classrooms, our goal is always the same; to keep our students reading great books. Now, we are beyond excited that beginning October 5th, with appropriate CISD provided protocols in place, we will resume classroom library visits. Yippee!!! Curbside delivery will also continue for as long as we have virtual learners. Some of our library precautions in place are:
1. Co-mingling of student groups will be avoided.
2. Chairs will be spread out to ensure social distancing.
3. Students will check out books during scheduled class visits. For additional checkouts, we will continue to use utilize Destiny Discover to place holds for curbside and classroom delivery.
4. Students must sanitize their hands before and after handling books in the library.
5. Library volunteers are not permitted at this time.
6. Containers will continue to be located outside the classrooms for returned books.
7. Following CDC guidelines, books and materials checked in are to be quarantined for the recommended 2-3 days.
8. Multiple locations of hand sanitizer, tissues, and trash cans will be available in several locations throughout the library.
9. Library doors will remain open to eliminate multiple touches by students and staff.
10. High touch surfaces will be disinfected regularly.
11. Book Fairs and author visits will be virtual.
