Library services are available to all students at
Infant Jesus School.
Students in Grades K - 6 visit the library on a
weekly basis. The Kindergarten children spend thirty minutes
learning how to care for books and the proper procedure for checking
books out, which they begin doing by late Fall. They also listen to
stories, take part in activities and learn the basic concepts of a
book.
Grades 1 - 6 come to the library for a
forty-minute period, at which time they check out books, listen to a
story, and learn library and research skills on a progressive scale.
By 6th grade, the students are involved in a “country report and
project” in their classrooms, which allows them to utilize all the
skills learned over the years in a purposeful and exciting manner.
Fees
Students will be charged a late fee of $.10
per school day for overdue books. A fee will also be imposed for
lost or damaged books. If a student is absent on a scheduled library
day, a fee will not be charged if the book is returned on the
first day the child returns to school.

We sponsor an annual Fall Book Fair and a Spring
Book Fair to raise money for new books and videos.
