SEPTEMBER
September continues building relationships and encouraging reading through a formal introduction to the public librarian, Cathy Boggs. The teacher librarian and library associate take groups of students to the public library to tour the library, listen to a book talk by the public librarian, and experience a behind-the-scenes look at what happens to books before students can check them out. Ms. Boggs introduces students to other library staff and answers student questions. Additionally, students are invited to apply for a library card. When parents are notified of the field trip to the public library, they are also given an application for their child to receive a library card. Students that have returned permission forms for a library card will receive their card on the day of the field trip.
Elements of a successful summer reading program that will be addressed in September:

Elements of a successful summer reading program that will be addressed in September:
- Encouraging positive independent reading habits
- Ample opportunities for library use- focus on exploring the public library
- Teacher librarian and public librarian collaboration
- Access for all students, including those of low socioeconomic status by inviting all students, regardless of income, to attain a free library card and attend a no-cost field trip
