Carefully attended by Mrs. Shepard, the library is available and books are checked out to Bret Harte students when they present their Bret Harte ID card. Students may check out two books to their name but may not do so if they have an overdue library book. Food, candy, chewing gum, snacks of any kind, beverages (including water) are not permitted in the library. Library computers are to be used before school, during lunch and after school for library catalog browsing only.
AR testing: All AR testing will be done in the LRC. In order to take an AR test you must sign in and have your AR form completed. AR binders are located in the front of the library. These binders list ALL AR books alphabetically by title, author; by points, grade level, or fiction/non-fiction.
Overdue book notices are distributed to language arts teachers on Tuesdays. If you receive an overdue notice please return the book to the library the following day. If you have lost a book you must replace it, so please come to the library and I will give you the author's name, title, publisher and other information so you can purchase the exact book and return it to the library.
Please remember the library is a place to study, read and/or do school related work - It is an area that should be relatively quiet to respect other students using the library. When you come to the library during class time without a teacher, please have a pass signed by your teacher. Remember to sign in when you arrive and sign out when you leave.
If you have questions or want more information regarding the use of the Bret Harte Library please stop by and talk with me. The Bret Harte Library is staffed by friendly, caring and knowledgeable adult volunteers and student assistants.
