Ms. Goldberg provides announcements for her library class, informing students that getting library books will occur during the last 15 minutes of class by her desk or the main desk if there is a long line. She notes that students should not be on their computers during this time unless they have special permission, and can look up if books are available online but should ask permission before checking out books from the juvenile section. The announcements also cover check out periods, bathroom use, upcoming snack time in the library, safety in chairs, and a challenge to describe books in a few words.

1. Ms. Goldberg’s
Opening Day Announcements

2. The Last 15 Minutes of Class
Getting library books occurs during the last 15 minutes of
every library class, primarily on the 5th floor by my desk.

3. The Last 15 Minutes of Class
If the line for checking out a book is really long, you may
check out with Ms. Shorter at the main desk on this floor.

4. The Last 15 Minutes of Class
Unless you’ve gotten special permission from me, you should
not be on your computer during the last 15 minutes of class.
If you are not actively looking for a book, think of this as
D.E.A.R time!

5. The One Thing You CAN
on the Computer
Want to know if we have a certain book? Hop on to your
computer and go to this website. You’ll be able to tell if it’s
checked out or where it is located on our shelves.
library.chapin.edu

6. Juvenile Section
If you want to check out the books in the Juvenile section,
that’s fine. However, you must ask me first.
Please be extremely careful not to disturb Ms. Kover’s class.

7. How Long Can I Check Out a
Book?
You can check out a book for 2 weeks. You then have 2
weeks to return it or talk to me about renewing it.

8. Personal Stuff
The bathroom is located in the Juvenile area. You do not
need my permission to go. Just quietly excuse yourself and
wave to me as you leave.

9. Extra Time in the Library
Starting the next cycle, you will be able to come to the library
during your snack time on certain days. Your homeroom
teachers will let you know the days.
If you come to the library during snack, please say hello to
me so I can find you during a fire drill or other emergency.

10. And One Last Thing
For safety reasons, please do not tilt back in your chairs. If
you see the person next to you doing it, pat them on the back
for me!

game for next class.
