LCISD Mission Statement
The mission of Lamar Consolidated ISD Librarians is to create a physical and digital environment in which our students, staff, and community can strengthen their natural inquisitive nature, foster a love of reading, and serve as a collaborative resource for teachers and staff in developing and delivering powerful learning experiences across all curricular areas.
LCISD Family Selection Policy
Lamar CISD families are encouraged to monitor and adjust student selection of library materials based on their individual family values. Family expectations regarding library books checked out by a student should be discussed with the student by the guardian and reviewed as necessary to ensure the student understands their family expectations. Books may be returned to the library at any time if a student or parent objects to the content.
Library Activities
The library sponsors one Book Fair and one Read-a-Thon. The proceeds from these fundraisers help pay for special author visits and programs. In addition, the library sponsors several voluntary reading promotion programs throughout the school year, such as Beanstack Challenges, the Spring Book Festival Reading Program (3rd-5th) and the Texas 2x2 (K-2nd).
Students Checkout
Kindergarten students are allowed to check out one book per week. Their books will remain in the classroom. Students in first grade may check out one book during the first semester and then two books for the remainder of the year. Students in grades 2 through 5 may check out two books. Students may not check out any books unless the previous ones are returned or renewed.
Volunteers
Library volunteers are an essential part of our library program. They help run the circulation desk, label, and shelf books, and prep materials, which allows the librarian to devote more time to teaching children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information experts. Please don't hesitate to contact our librarian if you are interested in volunteering. We would love to have you help our library program.
