Welcome to the Doe Run Library!: Doe Run Library Handbook

Students are welcome to visit the Library in addition to their regular class time as often as they have an information need, both personally and academically.  We ask that individual students seek permission from their classroom teacher prior to arriving at the Library.  The Library is a busy learning place; therefore, we also ask that visitors show respect to the learners and complete book shopping in a timely manner.  We love our frequent fliers!

Teacher Check-in and Check-Out Procedures:

Books and materials may be kept as long as necessary, but please return upon completion with materials. With your help, curriculum connections and high interest subjects can be kept in the hands of readers.

If teachers have a special request, please email Kristina (johnsk@manheimcentral.org).  You may also visit us, or email Rachel (rohrerr@manheimcentral.org).  We enjoy answering your questions to meet information needs!  

Student Check-In and Check Out Procedures:

In general, we recommend 2 books per student at one time.  We encourage learners to pick one "just right" book.  As information needs change, however, check out limits may vary.  

Books are checked out for a period of six school days.  We will send reminders home about what cycle day your class will have Library at the beginning of the school year to establish good routines, but any encouragement you can add is appreciated.  

If learners forget their books on Library class day, learners may still go book shopping during class time.  At checkout, we will set these books aside in the Library office for three school days.  These kids can later visit the Library to trade out for the books they saved.

K-2 Teachers:  Expect the Library assistant to visit your classrooms on your scheduled Library day.  

3-4 Teachers:  Please have students bring their books directly to Library class. 

A drop off box and renew slips will also be available by each Library door if students choose to drop books off in the morning before heading to the classroom.

If students are not yet finished reading a book, students may place a renew slip inside the front cover.  We will have those items renewed for students to pick up during Library class.
