Summer Checkouts are back!
Reading over summer vacation is so important!
Clarke and Diamond students can check out books from their
school libraries on June 20 and 21 for the entire summer!
Look below for our rules.
Why Read Over the Summer?
Why Should I Read?
- Deep Reading: The Serious Task of Beguilement"With so much information available to us it is very easy to become distracted; to loose direction; and to skim and scan through the web."
- Pleasure Reading Linked to Strong School Performance"... reading for pleasure was found to be more important for children’s cognitive development between ages 10 and 16 than their parents’ level of education."
- Can Reading a Novel Change Your Brain?"After reading a novel, actual changes linger in the brain, at least for a few days, report researchers at Emory University."
- A Snapshot of Reading in America"Though e-books are rising in popularity, print remains the foundation of Americans’ reading habits ..."
RULES: Check Out Books for the Summer
You MUST be returning to Clarke/Diamond next school year (sorry 8thgraders!).
All your currently checked out books MUST be turned in by June 9th. You will need a clean slate for summer checkouts!
Decide how many books you wish to check out over the summer. (Limit: 10 per student.)
Turn in a wish list if you are worried some titles may be scooped up. Wish list forms are available in the library or you can download one using the link on this page.
Get your books!! Summer Checkouts is Tuesday, June 20 and Wednesday, June 21.
Return all your summer books the first week of school!!
