Dear Parents/ Guardians:
A school library is a very special place. This is where we share and enjoy books and
develop reading habits that will be with us throughout our lives. We allow students to
check out books not only to reinforce their studies, but also for enjoyment at home. Your
child will be bringing books home on a regular basis. You can help your child by taking
an interest in the books he/ she brings home, and taking time to listen to him/her read
them aloud.
Please help us by protecting and returning the books on time. If a book is lost or damaged
while in your care, you will be asked to pay for the book. You can help by providing a
safe place at home for the book and a safe way to carry the book between home and
school such as a book bag or a plastic bag. We will be sharing important book care rules
with your child. Please ask your child about these rules and reinforce them at home. As
soon as you sign and return the form at the bottom of this letter, your child will be able to
borrow library books. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Yolanda Castillo
Principal
I accept responsibility of caring for and returning on time the books my child borrows
from the library.
