Use the library catalog to place a hold on books you want.  Log in to the catalog properly and place a hold only on books that are listed as “IN.”  Here is a video that shows you how to do this.  Students: be sure your parents know you have placed holds, so they can make sure they are picked up and returned according to the schedule below.

Just before the next pickup date, you and a parent should receive an email indicating which of the books that you put on hold were checked out and available to be picked up.  If you want to check this for yourself, log in to the library catalog then select “checkouts” from the main menu pull-down list (select the 3 bars icon at the top left of the catalog screen.)

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

Tuesday, Jan. 26 from 3:30-6pm and Wednesday Jan. 27 from 8am-12:30pm. Be sure to place your holds by Friday, Jan. 22: there is NO LIMIT, so get plenty of books to enjoy!

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. *This deadline and the holds process will be the same for students who are having instruction in the building: however, instead of picking up your books at the main entrance, they will be delivered to your classroom.

For younger students, parents are encouraged to place the holds: again, there is a tutorial video to show you how.

And there is much more you will want to explore—including many sources for ebooks, audiobooks, and online read alouds--in the Library’s Reading Resources Google Site.  A link to this can always be found near the top of the Library page of the ATES website and clicking the “Reading Resources” button.
