There is now a way to get and return LIBRARY BOOKS!

Students are now using the library catalog to place a hold on books they want, and you can pick them up at the main entrance of the school AT SPECIFIC DAYS and TIMES. (Students, be sure your parents know you have placed holds, so they can make sure they are picked up and returned.)

Books can be returned and new ones picked up at the main entrance of the school at the following days and times:

Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 3:30-6PM and Wednesday Sept. 23 from 8am-12:30PM (get your books when you pick up your breakfast and lunch!) And be sure to place your holds by Friday, Sept. 18!)

Tuesday, Oct. 6 from 3:30-6PM and Wednesday Oct. 7 from 8am-12:30PM (Place your holds by Friday, Oct. 2!)

This will take place every 2 weeks.  Upcoming dates and times will be announced.  Remember, holds must be placed no later than the Friday before the pickup day.

For younger students, parents are encouraged to place the holds: there is a tutorial video to show you how.  For more information, instructions and future dates for book pickup, see the Curbside Checkout Google folder

Happy Reading!

The Annandale Terrace ES Library is a warm and welcoming place for students, teachers, and parents. It is the goal of the library program to develop and encourage a love of reading for all students and assist them in becoming critical thinkers who are effective and responsible users of information. Parents are always welcome in the library as volunteers for shelving and book fair.
