Library Mission:
The mission of the library program at Sunrise McMillian Elementary is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information, promote the enjoyment of literature and reading, and encourage life-long learning.
Library Program:
The Sunrise McMillian Library operates on a modified flexible schedule with an open access policy. Each classroom has a scheduled opportunity to visit the library for check out and story time. Students may come to the library at any time to check out a book, research information, or take accelerated reading tests. Teachers work collaboratively with the librarian to schedule research projects and literature appreciation lessons. Students use the Big Six Research Model for information seeking strategies.
Lost or Damaged Books:
Accidents happen! If a book accidentally becomes damaged, we ask that the student report the damage so we might try to repair the book. If a book page accidentally rips, please do not attempt to repair the book at home. We use special book tapes and glue, which resist heat and won’t discolor.
If a book becomes damaged beyond use, we ask that the student pays the cost to replace the book so we can purchase that book again for our collection. |
