What's Happening in the Library

March 9-13 we will be hosting our Spring Scholastic book fair! This is a great opportunity for you to purchase books for your home to help build a love of reading in your child.

During the school day your child can shop the book fair with their teacher using an EWallet that you add money to. Directions on how to create an EWallet and add funds are below.

You can shop the book fair as a family at our Family Engagement Night Tuesday, March 10th from 5:00-6:30.

Your student can shop using an EWallet account that you set up through Scholastic.

Don't forget to set up your student's eWallet account for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Set one up here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/calhounearlychldsch

Join us Tuesday, March 10th for our Family Engagement Night from 5:00-6:30! This is a great opportunity for your child to show you a little of what they do at school.

1. Your child’s book should stay in their Library Book Bag when the book is not being read.

2. Books MUST be returned in the bag for a new book to be checked out and sent home.

3. If a bag is damaged please send it back to school so that we can reuse the label and repair or replace the bag. *DO NOT throw bags away.

4. Replacement bags will be $1.

If you receive an email reminder about a late library book don't worry! These reminders are sent out automatically on Monday mornings for any books that have been out for 30 days or more. We don't collect fines at our Calhoun Library, so it's just to remind you that you have a book at home that needs to be returned. Thank you for helping us keep the books in circulation for the students and teachers!
