LIBRARY FAQs:
Who staffs the Library?
Mrs. A. Piva is the Teacher Librarian, and Mrs. G. Kipp is our Library Assistant.
When is the library "open"?
Mrs. Piva is at Pacific Way on Wedneasdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Our library assistant, Mrs. Kipp, is here all day on Tuesdays and Fridays. Our library is never really 'closed' during school days because students, with their teacher's permission, can access books at any time and can use a pencil and paper sign out system if necessary.
How many books can my child sign out?
We usually sign out books according to grade...Ks and gr 1s usually sign out one, gr. 2s usually sign out two, etc...but there are always exceptions. Limits do not include books needed for school projects, Battle of the Books, or for novel studies. Those books are always "allowed!" We find that, as the year progresses, the number of books also increases!
How long can my child keep his/her library book?
We use a 1-week circulation period. Student can also renew books that they are in the middle of reading.
What do I do if I receive an overdue notice or bill?
Please make every effort to return or renew library books each week. Notices are sent to remind families about books that are significantly overdue. Bills are sent for books that have been overdue or missing for a long period of time. Payment can be sent in the form of cash or cheque (payable to Pacific Way Elementary)to the library office.
How can I contact Library staff?
You can always drop in to see us or phone us at the school. You can contact Mrs. Piva via email also: [email protected]
