Lindsey Elementary School

Library Activities

The library sponsors one book fair in the fall and a Read-a-Thon in the spring.  The proceeds from these fundraisers help to buy books and pay for special author visits and programs. 

In addition, the library sponsors several voluntary reading promotion programs throughout the school year, such as Beanstack Challenges, the Spring Book Festival Reading Program (3rd-5th) and the Texas 2x2 (K-2nd).

Student Checkout
Kindergarten can check out one book. Their books should travel to and from school in their labeled plastic Piggie and Gerald Bag.  If this bag is lost or damaged, a $1.00 replacement fee can be sent to Mrs. Nanez. Students receive a classroom DOJO point each time their bag is returned.

Students in first grade may check out one book.  Students in second through fifth grade may check out two books. Students may not check out any books unless the previous ones are returned or renewed. 

Overdue notices will be sent home periodically throughout the year. Please note that payment should only be made if the book cannot be located or is damaged.
 

Mission Statement

The mission of Lamar Consolidated ISD Librarians 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 and delivering powerful learning experiences across all curricular areas.

LCISD Family Selection Policy
Lamar CISD families are encouraged to monitor and adjust student selection of library materials based on their individual family values. Family expectations regarding library books checked out by a student should be discussed with the student by the guardian and reviewed as necessary to ensure the student understands their family expectations. Books may be returned to the library at any time if a student or parent objects to the content.
