Hello, I am Melea Burney and I am the Librarian Assistant here at Pick Elementary.  

  • Library Mission and Goals 

     

    Growing Readers, Thinkers, Creators

    Mission of the Pick Library  
    Growing Readers, Thinkers, Creators

    The mission of Auburn City Schools librarians is to inspire learning, connect curiosity to resources, and spark a love of reading within our school community.

    Our Student Learning Goals are:

    1. I can find information to help answer my questions. (Research)
    2. I can read different kinds of books for fun and to learn new things. (Reading)
    3. I can use my imagination and think of new ideas to solve problems. (Creative Thinking)

    Book Check Out

    All students have a library notebook and a library card.  3rd Graders return books each week and 4th/ 5th graders have a 2 week checkout.  After a few weeks of getting back into the habit of keeping up with the books, all students can check out 2 library books at a time.  Students must keep their books up to date to continue checking out.  Students may have their limit extended for learning projects, and they may also choose the reward of checking out more books.  Books may be renewed up to two additional times unless they are on hold for other students.   The student must bring the book to the library in order to renew the book.

    Damaged and Lost Book Policy

    Accidents happen! If a book is accidentally damaged, the student should report the damage so that the library may, if possible, repair the book. If a book page accidentally rips, please do not attempt to repair the book at home. The library uses special book tapes and glue that resist heat and will not discolor.  Students will receive overdue book notices when books need to be returned.  If books are not returned, parents will be notified by letter and phone call. Although not required, we appreciate parental support when able to pay for or replace lost or damaged books.
