About Our Library We are open 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Students don't have to wait until next class library time to return and check out books. They can come in daily during the 10:00 recess and after school. Teachers also have the option of scheduling extra time. Students with internet permission slips on file at our school may use the student computers in the library for researching school projects after school. Hedrick School Library provides books and services for more than 500 students, grades Kindergarten through Sixth, and their teachers and staff. Each class is scheduled weekly for thirty minutes. During that time, students check out books and have a story time, book talk, or mini lesson on how to better use their library. Students may also use the library the morning recess and after school each day. Library books are checked out for one week at a time. If the students wish to keep their books longer, they may bring them back at the end of that week and renew them. Perfect Returns! Every week when a class comes to the library, they have a chance to have Perfect Returns. That means that if all the students turn in their books on time (they must have them when they come for library), the class earns their name on the "Perfect Returns" board, a certificate, and their teacher gets to select a book for their classroom library to keep. When Are Our Books Due? How do we know if a book is AR? To find out if a book is an Accelerated Reader book, please use Simply select "Parent" from the list, and begin by typing in the title of the book you are looking for. If the book is not listed, it is probaly not an Accelerated Reader book, or it may not have a quiz for the book. Check it out regularly for updates and new book releases! Please note: a book listed on the AR BookFinder website does not necessarily mean our library has the book. The AR BookFinder site lists all possible AR books available, not the ones currently in our library collection! Students can check available books here at school using another program that lists all of our school collection.
