We LOVE Library Day!

Tuesday is Library Day for our Kindergarten Class.  Each child is allowed to have one book checked out of the library.  When they bring theirs back, they can check out a new one.  Kindergarten students are encouraged to look for choices in the picture book section.  However, sometimes we sneak into the nonfiction section to find books about animals and bulldozers and such!

The picture book section.

After making their selection, the children line up and wait for a turn to check out their book.  Each child knows how to find the bar code and scan it so the computer records which book they are taking.

Children line up to check out the book they chose.

Children can bring their book back as soon as they are done with it.  We have a basket they go into until it is library day.  Or, children can keep the book right up until the next Tuesday and then turn it in on the actual library day.  If they forget to return their book, they do not get to check out a new one until the next time.

They really do love library day and are always very excited to know it is a Tuesday!
