CLASSROOM LIBRARY CONTRACT
You are a lucky student in a classroom with a tremendous classroom library. Our classroom library is
building all of the time, and currently boasts over 500 titles. All students in rooms 22, 24, and 26, are
invited to check out books from my classroom library throughout the year. It is imperative that we all
take good care of our books so they can last for many more years to come.
All of these books were bought with love (and Miss D’s hard-earned paycheck). As your parents always
say, “Money does not grow on trees”, and this is true.
Therefore, in the strange and unexpected case, where a book you borrowed has been lost, stolen, or
scarfed down by a creature from the deep, it is your responsibility to replace that missing book, or
provide the funds to replace it, so other students will have the pleasure and opportunity to read that
book as well.
All books must be signed out with me and returned to me, to help maintain accurate records.
I also ask each student to only take out up to 2 books at a time and to care for the book as if it were
their own. Books will be stored in a plastic protector to help protect them as they travel to and from
school. You will be REQUIRED to keep the protector in your binder and bring it to Reading class every
day. You will have the opportunity to exchange books once a week on an assigned day.
Thank you so much for respecting these wishes. With your help, we can continue to add more
wonderful books for your enjoyment, rather than replace lost books.
Before I can allow you to sign this out, I ask that you and your parents sign and return this form. It will
be your ticket to the library!
Please detach the sheet below and return to school by Friday, August 12th!
Happy Reading!
Miss D ☺
