Mission and goal
The goal of the Allen Library Program is to provide access to current, diverse materials and teach information literacy to give the school community the tools necessary for self-directed learning. The library program also collaborates with the staff by providing resources and instruction to support their curriculum and meet the needs of diverse learners. Lastly, the library is a place that fosters a love of reading in order to develop lifelong readers.
Checkout policy and procedure
Parents
Parents can create a parent account simply by showing a picture id. Once the account is created, parents can check out up to 5 items at a time. Students can return parent items, but students are not allowed to check out under a parent's name without the parent being present. We set that policy to ensure that there are no surprises on the parent account.
Students
Kinder and 1st grade each check out one book per library visit.
2nd through 5th grade each check out two books per visit.
