Welcome to the Endeavour Elementary School Library!  Sara Smeby Library Media Specialist

For more information about Book Fair, please check your child's "Library with Mrs. Smeby" course on Schoology.

Are you interested in helping in the Endeavour Library? If so, please contact Mrs. Smeby:  smebysb@mukilteo.wednet.edu

It is Mukilteo School District policy that volunteers must be on the approved volunteer list in the office BEFORE they can work in the library.  Please visit Volunteering in Mukilteo Schools and allow two weeks for processing.  Thank you!

All volunteers must be trained by Mrs. Smeby before they can work in the library. It's not difficult; there are just some procedures to discuss.

We hope you join us! The library is a *fantastic* place to be!

Each week, when your child comes to the library with his/her class, s/he is told what books are currently checked out.

If a book is forgotten/overdue, students may still select new books, but they are placed on the Babysitting Cart at the end of the library visit. The student then has until the end of the following school day to switch out the forgotten/overdue books for the new ones. The books left behind at the end of that next day are re-shelved. A “Reminder Paper” is printed out and given to your child (or to his/her teacher for distribution later), which includes the book’s title, circulation barcode, and due date.

If your child is unable to find a lost book or if a book is severely damaged or destroyed, s/he may replace it with a brand new or like new copy of the same title (and in the same type of binding) or a title of similar value (as noted in the library system) from the library’s Amazon Wish List. Before you replace the book, please email Mrs. Smeby first, as she will work with you to find the correct replacement. Please do NOT send in cash for the book.

It is a priority for our students to be responsible for their books. Please help your child find a safe place to store library books and help him/her to remember to bring the books back on time. One of the goals of check-out is to teach the students that the books they check out are *their* responsibility.

Thank you! Please email me if you have any questions! smebysb@mukilteo.wednet.edu
