New Circulation Program -- find books from anywhere!

Our Nebbie library will have a new circulation program this year. The program is web-based. This means you can find what books our library has and if they are checked in or not from any computer that has internet access.

I am so excited about this new program. I hope you will love it as much as I do. Just click on the Title of this blog post to see what books are available in our library. Make sure you make it a favorite site along with this homepage.

4th-6th grades

Upper grade students are able to come to the library to check out books on a daily basis. Library time will be scheduled by your child’s teacher for information literacy classes, research projects, and classroom checkout time. Your child will learn about Melville Dewey and The Big Six this year in the library. We will be integrating the curriculum along with technology as well.

Kinder - 3rd grades

Kinder students will come to the library with their teacher once a week for a storytime activity. After the Winter Break, Kinder students will begin to check out books. Kinder students will be introduced to the “world of the library”

First, second and third grade students will come to the library with their teacher once a week for a storytime activity. Storytime is linked to the classroom curriculum and will provide enrichment activities for the children. Students will also check out books during this time period. They may also check out books during the school day during open checkout.
