Welcome to the Deer Creek Elementary Library Media Center!  Our library is open every school day from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Students are welcome anytime the library is open with their teacher’s permission. 

Library Policies

• Students are allowed to check out two books at a time. 

• No fines will be charged for overdue books but students will not be allowed to check out books until overdue books are returned.

• Parents will be charged for lost or damaged books to be replaced. 

• Parents are allowed to check out books, see our librarian to set up an account.

• Accelerated reader quizzes will be purchased as necessary when new books are purchased; however, parents can purchase AR quizzes for the school if their child reads a book that we do not have in our collection for $3 per quiz.  This is subject to availability and school and district guidelines for ordering.

Information Literacy Instruction

All students have designated library times for information literacy instruction and book circulation.  Library lessons are designed to help students become familiar with libraries in general by instruction in the Dewey Decimal System, online catalogs, credibility and an understanding of the safe use of the Internet as a resource, instruction in technology, reader’s guidance, and the development of lifelong reading. 

Library Programs

Student programs for the school year will include: two school-wide book fairs, the birthday book club, Parents as Guest Readers event, the Sequoyah breakfast, guest speakers, Read Across America day, and many other events that promote a love of reading and an appreciation for lifelong learning. 

Parent Volunteers

If you would like to help in our school library, please contact the school librarian.  We will need volunteers to come regularly to help with day to day operations in the library as well as volunteers who will coordinate our book fairs.  Thank you for your participation and support.
