The mission of the Dixie Library Media Center is to create a community of lifelong learners. Information literacy - the ability to find and use information - is the keystone to lifelong learning. Students will be nurtured in their development as they acquire the skills to be excellent readers and to use information for a productive and fulfilling life.
Dixie Elementary Library Media Center provides opportunities for students to checkout materials on a regular basis. Students must adhere to the following policies and procedures in order to maintain checkout privileges.
* Student checkout usually begins the second full week of school and ends around the first week of May.
* Following winter break, kindergarten students may check out one Library book to take home.
* 1st - 2nd grade students may check out one item at a time.
* 3rd - 5th grade students may check out two books at at time.
* Students check out their books for a period of one week. If they finish their books before the week is up or if they forget their books on library day, they may exchange them in the morning.
* Books may be returned in the book drop at the circulation desk during the student's library time or open checkout.
* A book may be renewed if the student is not yet finished with it by the due date.
* Students must return overdue books before additional books may be checked out.
* Students are required to pay for lost or damaged books.
* Overdue notices will be sent home twice a month to keep parents informed about late/missing books.
* Parents/guardians who have questions or concerns regarding the circulation policies and procedures should contact the media specialist.
