Classes are held once every two weeks for 50 minutes.  Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade classes are 30 minutes.  All students exchange books during library class. All students also have the option to exchange books in a process called Free Flow.  During Library classes, students learn important skills based on our new library standards: Collaborate, Curate, Explore, Inquire, Engage, and Include.  Our Arkansas state standards are also imbedded in each library lesson.

In order to build a culture of literacy and life long learning habits, our students transition to a free flow model in 2nd grade.  When we become adults, we check our books in when we are done with them, and we check them out based on need (either for information or entertainment).  We want our students to internalize these habits.  Free Flow simply means that when they finish with their books, they come to the Library and check them in.  At that time, they check out new books.  

Students have the opportunity to check out books everyday, books are considered late after 2 weeks.  After one month, they become marked as lost and fines are assessed.  Once the book is returned, fines are forgiven.  If a book is lost, students can also make up fines by doing a written book report or Flipgrid video book report.
