Library books from school?? - Page 2

At dd's school last year, k could not check out books at all until the second half of the year. Then they could check out 1 to leave in the classroom. She thinks that it was 3rd grade before you could take one home. That is one of the reasons dd is not at that school anymore. We've been using the public libary for years and she got her own card at 5. Her current school doesn't have a "library" in the traditional sense, but she has more access to books now than when the facility contained a separate library. Also an hour of free reading every day. Open access to books is important!

Our kids can. In fact we owe the school $4 because ds lost one. (I suspect it got returned to the public library.) At least they only charge the cost of the book. I can handle $5 a year. (Yes, we lose one book a year.)

They can only take 2-3 books out at a time. (It might be 1 book in Gr. 1, 2 in Gr. 2, or I might be hallucinating.)

My public school pre-k son checks out and brings books home weekly. My 3rd grade public schooled son must leave them at school, as they are considered a book for him to read during classroom reading time. I really prefer it that way - we have dozens of library books from the public library in town and it's just one more thing for me to keep track of. I far prefer him to keep his school library books at school.
