Library Hours, Student Checkouts and Classes

6:45 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.
The library is open each morning for quick book exchanges during 6:45 a.m. to 7:05 a.m.

7:30 a.m. to 2:30p.m.
This year the library is on the Innovation School Day (ISD). Students come to the library during the Innovation School Day rotation Tuesday-Thursday for literacy-based lessons, MakerSpace activities, and the opportunity to check-out books. Kindergarten students may borrow one book during each rotation. First through fifth grade students may choose two books. Students will have additional opportunities to checkout books on Mondays and Fridays as well. Students can also come in the mornings from 6:45-7:00 am to return and checkout books as well.

As with any library, students must return their books in good condition in order receive others. If you believe your child has lost a book or one has become damaged, please contact the library.

Goals and Mission

The mission of the Lamar Consolidated ISD Libraries 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 powerful learning experiences across all curricular areas.

It is the goal and vision of Hubenak's Library Media Program to:

provide an attractive, welcoming environment.
provide a well-organized and comprehensive collection that meets the needs of the faculty and student body.
encourage collaboration between the media specialist and faculty to integrate information, media literacy, and technology skills into all curricular areas.
maintain a collection that is continually assessed and plan steps for changes and improvements.
insure that the media program and its services are meeting the needs of students and the faculty.

Good Practices:

1. Given the library classes are on a rotation, your child's library class will not have a set day. It is encouraged that students keep and return their library books to their back packs after each use, so they will be available for an exchange or renewal during their next visit. This will also help to alleviate books being lost.

2. Please do not eat or drink while reading a Hubenak library book.

3. Please do not write or draw in a Hubenak library book.

Library Activities

Library Clubs:
1. The News Crew: Students in the News Crew learn how to operate the equipment in the Hubenak News Studio to produce a live broadcast each morning. This broadcast aims to inform students and staff of current and upcoming events as well as pertinent information necessary for everyone's success. This club is for 5^th grade only. Students can come to the library for an application.

2. Birthday Book Club: Celebrate your child’s birthday and support the library by participating in the Birthday Book Club!

Library Book Fairs:

The library hosts two book fairs each year. One in the fall and one in the spring. The proceeds from these book fairs help to buy books and pay for special author visits and programs.

Fall: October 20-24

Spring: February 17-24

Book Presentations from BOOKS ALIVE on September 18 for grades K-2^nd.

Author Visits: More to come!

Reading Programs:

The library sponsors various voluntary reading programs throughout the school year, including Reading Incentives throughout the year and the Raz Kids Reading Program for grades 1 and 2. This year we have a District-wide reading program through Beanstack. This reading program is open to all students. It's easy to do. Everyday, after reading, students should click into BEANSTACK located on the ClassLink platform and log how many minutes they read. The district's goal is 10,000 minutes with all campuses combines.

Happy Reading!

Volunteers

Library volunteers are an essential and valuable part of our library program. They help in the shelving of our library books, and keeping the library shelves straightened, as well as setting up for our fall and spring book fairs, and more. Thank you so much for your support.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Mrs. Tyrrell.
