Library Rules

Rule 1 - Be Courteous!

Rule 2 - Be Responsible

Rule 2 - Be Safe!

• Being courteous means we will not talk loudly because we might disturb others.
• Being responsible means we will return books on time so that others may use them, and so that no one has to spend time hunting for them!
• Being responsible means getting an adult if there is a problem.
• Being responsible means we will always pull the book out to mark where a book goes while we have it off the shelf looking at it. This makes sure that it can be found again.

How to choose a book

Is it too hard?

The 5 finger test is an easy way to find out if a book is too hard. Read any page in the book. Each time you don't know a word, hold up one finger. If you have five fingers up by the end of the page - the book is too hard. You can also use you AR level to help select a book that is on the right reading level for you. Once you find books that you can read you must select those that you WANT to read!

Am I interested in this story?

To do this read what the publisher has placed on the book jacket to tell you a bit about the story. Finally, if you start the book and don't like it -- DON'T READ THE BOOK.

 Now that I can read -- I want to read REAL BOOKS!

 Ground Hog Day Fun

Among North American rodents, only beavers and porcupines are larger. Woodchucks are stocky little animals with a flattened head. Fur colour varies from place to place. Most are brown, but they can be yellowish to dark reddish brown.

Because woodchucks burrow, their feet have sturdy claws and their legs are thick and strong. Woodchucks prefer to eat fresh green vegetation. They eat a wide variety of wild plants, clover and alfalfa, and garden vegetables.
