If you have a book request that you think would be great for the Library, be sure to write it on the "Book Wish List".  I can research the book, share it with the Library Committee and if it is a good fit for our Library and I have the funds, I can purchase it!

Parental Restriction of Individual Student Access

The librarian and the School Committee strive to have a library collection that all students and parents consider appropriate. Nevertheless, the District recognizes the right of parents under state law and District Policy 11IR-107 Recognizing Constitutional Freedoms in Public Schools, to restrict their child’s access to materials the parent deems inappropriate. However, parents do not have the right to make that determination on behalf of other parents and students.

A parent desiring to restrict their own child’s access to specific library materials shall submit the request in writing (or via email) to the Librarian at the school their child is currently attending. If the material is a required part of classroom curriculum activities, the parent must follow the procedures for waiver contained in 11IR-107 Section 14.   4I-202 School Library Media Centers (Section 3.2)

Remember to use Sora/Overdrive to continue reading!  This is a great idea for reading over the holidays and over the summer!
