LIBRARY ASSIGNMENT ALERT

 The Library System Can:

  •        Supply your local library with extra materials.

  •        Supply your classroom with a “classroom collection”
    of materials. (See Guidelines below.)

  •        Limit how much one person is allowed to check out.  

  •        Assign “library use only” to some materials.

  •        Alert you to potential problems before they occur.

Classroom Collection Guidelines:

  •      Three weeks’ notice is required. The usual quantity is
    20 – 50 items. Materials will arrive as they become available.

  •      Want several copies of a single book?  The number we can
    provide will vary depending on how many are available in our  
    collection. (Not checked out or requested by other patrons.)

  •      Please note: You will need to place holds on Bellingham
    Library books yourself, using your own library card.
    Bellingham
    allows each patron to check out only 1 children’s country or
    state book at a time, and 3 children’s books per subject on
    all other non-fiction topics.  If you place holds on more
    than
    this, Bellingham will cancel the excess holds.

  •      All usual library rules apply. The library card holder is responsible
    for the materials.

  •      Institutional cards are available with authorization from your school
    administration.  Ask at check-out desk.
