Welcome to the Blevins Library!
The Blevins Middle School Library strives to provide a safe, warm, and welcoming atmosphere that encourages learning and fosters a life-long love of reading.
Library Hours
Monday through Friday from 7:40 am to 3:10 pm
Students may come to the library (may be different with COVID protocols in place):
- BEFORE school from 7:40 am. Students will need to get a pass in the auditeria from an administrator.
- At LUNCH instead of going out to Rec, students may come to the library after eating. Students must come to the library BEFORE their lunch begins to get a pass from Ms. Richardson
- AFTER school to quickly check-out, renew or return a book.
- During CLASS with a pass from their teacher to check out or return books, or to work quietly and independently.
Circulation
Students may check out 1 or 2 books for 3 weeks. Most books (the exceptions being graphic novels and new books) may be renewed one time for another 3 weeks.
If a book is damaged, a damage fine will be assessed dependent on the amount of damage, from $1.00 through the entire replacement cost. Lost books will need to be paid for. Check your student's SchoolPay account to check for charges incurred.
Collection
Choosing books for middle school can be challenging. What might be interesting and appropriate for an 8th grader may not be interesting and/or appropriate for a 6th grader. There was a lot of time and effort into choosing books for the Blevins Library. Parents are encouraged to talk to their student(s) about their library books. (See the menu item "Reading Recommendations" for help at home.) Some books may have a "Content Warning" label on the cover for heavy violence, sexual situations and/or strong language.
Books are chosen for the Blevins Library to support curriculum, engender high interest, and encourage reading for information and enjoyment.
