Come expand your imagination, your world and your learning by checking a book out of the Nixon School Library.  There is nothing better than reading a book to your child or having them read a book to you.  Reading helps children understand new words and how words connect together.  Make time to share a book with your child everyday.

            

Dear Parents,

It is the intention to use this page to build over time, your awareness of the content of a variety of books that are available in the Nixon School library. The expectation here is that you will discover specific titles you feel would be appealing to your children and would like to recommend to them--and hopefully also share with them during reading times at home.

Nixon School Library Book Circulation Policy

Books on cart

 

In order to provide equitable access to our library collection for all of our students—and to encourage respectful use of this community resource—guidelines have been established regarding checking out books when a student does not return previously borrowed materials on time:

  • At the kindergarten level students are expected to return their books before borrowing new ones.
  • At the first through fourth grade levels a student who forgets his or her books once may still borrow a single book, but subsequent check-outs are not allowed until the originally overdue books are returned.

In both of the above cases students may choose new books; these are held in the library and are available to them as soon as they return their overdue volumes. Extra library time, for use by all students, is provided during every school day so they need not wait until their scheduled weekly period to return their old and check out their new selections.
