Here's a note from our librarian, Ms. Karen Choan:
- Grade 5 comes to the library every second week to change books. We have an additional regular library time with the teacher-librarian once every 2 weeks. This may include library skills and research and activities related to the ongoing units.
- Students are asked to bring their books back and forth in a school library bag (available at the IST School Store) or a water-proof substitute.
- Students may have up to 10 books checked out at a time.
- The library is open before and after school, and during breaks, for students and parents.
- There are no overdue fines. We regularly send overdue emails to homes and homerooms.
