Editor's Notes
- Quiz: How Good Is Your Time Management? (handout)
- Each Houston ISD and Alief ISD student will be able to check out up to 10 physical items at a time with the regular check out period of 21 days. They can check out books, audio books, but not DVDs, music CDs, FLIP kits, Laptops/tablets or video gaming equipment. Read by Grade 3 Students Pre-K through 5th grade can only check out juvenile materials and grades 6-12 can check out juvenile, teen, and adult materials. They will not be charged overdue fees associated with these accounts. So long as they bring the items back, they will not owe anything. If books are lost or damaged, they will be charged up to $10 for any lost books (books are considered lost 30 days after the due date). The account will be inactive after the total amount due reaches $50.00. If they pay part of that, they will again be able to check out items until it is back to $50. Learning Link accounts will not be sent to collections. Houston Public Library will optimize meeting youth needs with a more youth centered approach which requires more staff motivating and engaging with students through active and hands on learning. Houston Public Library strives to provide both active learning and “hands on” learning. Houston Public Library has already created over 200 learning modules, including more than 100 STEM modules/kits. The creation of the learning modules provides equity across the library system. The location staff request the learning modules and requests are usually filled within days. Houston Public Library offers Learning Link cards to all Houston Independent School District students and all Alief Independent School District students. The cards are fine free and do not require the signature of a parent or guardian. A student may check out up to 10 physical books at a time. Houston Public Library also works with Lone Star College and a group of ministers to provide reading buddies at schools with low reading scores. We partner with My Brother’s Keeper (MBK), Houston Area Urban League, Mayor’s Office of Education, Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation, Children’s Museum of Houston, Texas Children’s Hospital, United Way’s Out2Learn and others to extend and leverage programs and services, Food programs meet the physical needs of youth. This important program is usually combined with the After School Zone / out of school time programs Houston Public Library will provide opportunities for youth to work through the Mayor’s Hire Houston Youth program for ages 16 to 24. Houston Public Library offers school support using online resources, such as Brainfuse – live, online homework help assistance offered 24/7 Houston Public Library’s Café College assists with FAFSA and college applications – Basic skills, such as sorting laundry, ironing and sewing on a button Financial planning and savings are supported with a program through Capital One HPL will provide more training for youth development and young adult development in addition to early childhood development
