Coffee Chat

I was honored to co-host a Coffee Chat with our Parent/Community Specialist Ms. Hargrave today. My favorite questions were about our enrichment book clubs & our student volunteer program, Library Leaders. Here was my handout with some general library information.

Summer Reading Options!

Summer Library Hours Announced

We are thrilled to be hosting summer library hours almost every Thursday during our summer break! Join us, or check out some of the RRISD Pop Up Library events - they're sure to be spectacular. We also have some reading & social media challenges for you during our time apart- check out details below.

Library Summer Olympics Starts 6/28

welcome back to school

It's almost here, Eagles- the first day of school! I can't wait to see all of our returning students, and to meet our new ones as well. Orientations in the library will almost all take place during the first week of school. Students will be allowed to check out books during orientations after we review book care and how to check out a book.

PreK students check out one book for school use only. Kindergarten students check out one book and may take it home with them.

1st and 2nd grades may check out two books at a time. When they bring back one, they can check out another one. When they bring back two books, they can check out two more books.

3rd, 4th and 5th graders can all check out 3 books at a time. However many books they return, they may check out again.

Parents are welcome to get their own personal library account. They have unlimited checkout. They can send the books back with their student to school when they're done with the books.

There are no overdue book fees at Forest North. If you lose or damage a book though, we will need you to pay for a replacement. Lost or damaged books can be paid for by cash or a check made out to Forest North Library. Please include your phone number and a valid state ID number as well.

I can't wait to see you, Eagles!

These books and activity kits can be checked out and taken home. We have special library accounts just for parents, so come by to set one up! The library is open to parents before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays or at our monthly Library night (next one is 11/17 4:30-6:00). Parents can check out anything from our regular collection as well as from our special parenting section. Our parenting section includes books on being a parent and helping your child become a successful, contributing member of our community both socially and academically.
