Library
Instructor: Mrs. Klaasse   
Welcome to the Bennett Library

Check-out & Overdue Policy
     Students may check out 4 books at a time as long as they don’t have any that are overdue. Students will be notified of an overdue book at check out and given an overdue reminder if requested. Overdue reports will be run 2 times per grading period, and notices will be sent home at those times. When a book is more than one month overdue, a notice will be mailed home to the students’ parent/guardian. 
       
Red Dot Books
     You may have noticed some of your older students (4th, 5th and maybe some 3rd graders), bringing home a library book with a red dot on the cover (near the Bennett bar code) that is not an AR marker. We do our best to mark books that have content that may not be appropriate or interesting for our younger readers. Being an elementary school library, we have the unique responsibility to provide books with age appropriate content ranging from kindergarten through 5th grade. A problem may occur when one of our younger readers has a higher reading level. For example, a second grader may have a 4th or a 5th grade reading level, but some of our books at that reading level may have content that is not appropriate or interesting for a second grade student to read. We use the red dots to let us know that we may need to help that younger reader find a more age appropriate book. In some cases we ask the student to bring us a note with his or her parents' OK if they are very interested in a specific book or series of books (for example:  The Series of Unfortunate Events or Harry Potter). Once we have a note from home, we'll keep a record of it and they will be allowed to check out that specific book,books in that specific series or other red dot books.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me in the library. My email address is   klaassvj@pwcs.edu
 
We would like to thank you for sharing this information with your children. Our goal is to keep the Bennett Elementary School Library a warm, friendly welcoming environment and to share our love of books and reading with the students of Bennett!

Thank You!

Our Most Successful Bookfair Ever!

 
    I'd like to thank everyone for making this our most successful book fair at Bennett ever! We sold $15,576.40 worth of books and merchandise!! That is truly amazing!! We received 25% of our total sales plus over $1000 in books from the fair, which brought our total profit (in cash and books) to over $5000.00!! We also did very well with our first online bookfair, which helped increase our sales total by nearly $500.
    Our success lies in the hands of our generous Bennett community and the many volunteers who help with this major undertaking. We are so grateful for the volunteers from the Bennett community. We truly couldn't do it without their help.

Bennett Birthday Books Have arrived!

     Our Birthday Book order arrived. This year we raised over $700.00!   In late November and early December, students who participated in the Birthday Book program, selected their book to donate to our library from these new arrivals. This took place during their library time.
     Once the student selected a book, we placed a book plate with the child's name, birth date and year of donation inside the book. We photographed them with their book and will be displaying the pictures in the library and then they were the first students to check-out their newly donated books!
     Again I would like to thank all of you for making Bennett's Birthday Book Library fundraiser such a wonderful success!
