First of all, I would like to thank Mrs. Haake who helped to keep the library open when I was out for surgery and to the other volunteers who assisted in keeping "library time" moving along so smoothly for the students!  

I would also like to thank the following families who have donated books and/or various and numerous supplies to the library:  Backiel, DePasquale, Haake, Hajduk, Hawryluk, Hohmann, McKeon, Purcell, and Vicari.
 

Welcome to the SFCS Library!

Students in Grades K through 5 visit the library once a week for 45 minutes.  Books may be borrowed for one week at a time with renewals as necessary.  
Middle school students are encouraged to continue to visit the library and borrow books accordingly.
We do not charge for overdue books.  Students are sent a "Whoops" notice to let them know that a book is overdue and are asked to return books as soon as possible.
If a book is lost, a replacement cost is charged.  Some of our books are purchased with special library binding which gives added strength to the spines.  These books are more expensive to replace.
If a student has more than six books borrowed at any time, it is due to the discretion of the librarian if more books are allowed to be borrowed.
Students who have not returned books at the end of the previous school year may not borrow books until those books are either paid for or returned.
Last year we had several parents who gave their children cloth tote bags in which to carry their library books back and forth.  This is especially helpful for our Kindergarten students who carry their books from one building to another.  We do provide plastic bags for our books but in the interest of the environment, we would like to discourage their use.

I would like to thank Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Garcia, and Mrs. Brown for their very successful work on the Scholastic Book Fair.

With the proceeds that we received, we were able to purchase six Chromebooks.  Additionally, we were able to order the following sets of books from World Book:  America's Presidents; History Summarized (10 volumes); Earth's Changing Climate (8 volumes); and "Ugh, Yuck! and Whoa" (8 volumes).  There are also funds remaining for the purchase of library supplies for the processing of books.
