Duties will be performed during class time. A schedule has been
established for library members to work in the library. Library members who
have their homeroom teacher's permission may come to the library any other time
during the day to help with classes, work on the computer, etc.
Students are selected from third, fourth, and fifth grade classes
based on their behavior and love of reading. Grades are considered
but are not the only criteria as some students are willing to work
hard to belong to the library club.
Applications listing the qualifications to belong to the library club
are sent home with students. The student and parent must sign and
return the form.
A checklist for each student assistant is kept with skills listed,
date checked, and the grade assigned. The nine categories of the
checklist are as follows:
|
BOOKS
|
MAGAZINES

|
