About the Media Center

Our library/media center is dedicated to providing students and staff with a user-friendly environment that encourages success in learning.

Schedule and Borrowing Limits

All students in K-5th grades have regular scheduled class times once a week.

​

K-2nd grade classes check out 1 book per week

3rd-5th grade classes may check out 2 books per week 

​

All books are due one week from the day they are checked out. Overdue fines are not charged, but no other books may be borrowed until all library materials have been returned.

Important Message for Parents:

  • Take your child to the public library and help them get a library card. Find out if there are any special programs or reading clubs at your library.

  • The North Avenue Branch of the Richmond Public Library LOVES visitors! Check Out Their Website!!!   

  • Do a follow up reading after watching a television show. For example, after watching a show about whales, get library books on that topic.

  • Give your child books as a gift.

  • Take books along when you go to doctors' offices, on car trips and on vacations.

  • Show your child that you like to read.

  • Read aloud to your child. Children enjoy hearing the same stories many times.

  • After reading a story to your child, discuss the story.

  • Set aside a special time to read every day, at least 20 minutes.
