Library
École du Samedi provides free access to a library of French books, DVDs and tapes for all ages that supports the instructional program.
Located in the Primary School Building, on the mezzanine above the reception desk, the library is open on Saturday mornings from 9:45 am to 11:40 am. Each family will receive a free membership upon registering with the librarians.
Every family must sign the Library Policies & Authorization 2023-24 Form (electronically or by printing it out, signing it, and delivering it to the librarians) before checking out materials from the library.
Library Policies
So that everyone can enjoy the library collection, families are limited to the number of items they can check out. All families can check out a maximum of 2 DVD’s at a time.
Check-out limits:
- Family with one child: 4 items (including a maximum of 2 DVDs/CD/Tapes)
- Family with 2 children: 6 items (including a maximum of 2 DVDs/CD/Tapes)
Return time: 2 weeks maximum
Penalties for late returns:
Books/DVD/CDs/Tapes: $ 2.00/item/week
Penalties for damaged or lost items:
A 20 dollars fee will be charged to the parents' credit card for any book or DVD that has not been returned or replaced within five weeks of the initial borrowing date.
Library Programs
Each class will be on a rotation allowing students (with their teachers) to come during recess to pick their own library book. Each child gets to choose a book that they will be able to keep at home for 2 weeks. Our librarians help them choose age and level appropriate books. Parents, please ask your children about the book they chose and encourage them to read it to you. We believe participation in this process will help reinforce their role in learning here at École du Samedi.
Children in the Bébé & Moi and Bout'chous may visit the library with their parents before or after class.
