Parent Library Cards

Did you know that as a parent or guardian of an Oak Grove student, you can get a library card and take out up to 10 books at a time to supplement your child's reading? Reading to and with your child is the BEST way to support literacy at home. For parents of older students, there are hundreds of fabulous middle grade and young adult titles in the library that you may enjoy reading on your own. Setting a time each evening when the whole family is reading together either silently or out loud, is great modeling and can help foster a lifelong love of books. As I often tell my students, if you can read, you will NEVER be bored!

Cards are free and there are NO overdue fines! If you have books checked out for a long time, you might receive a phone call or a note from me reminding you that you still have the books. You may keep them for as long as you need them, however we do ask that if you lose a book you replace it with either a copy you buy yourself or money to buy a new copy.

Feel free to contact me at the school if you have any questions or need some good recommendations. Stop by during Open House and get a card if you don't already have one. And if you do, check out some books!
