  1. Lisa J. Mails Library Now, where is that book?

  2. Welcome! The library is open daily to students 8:00am to 3:00 pm. Each classroom has a scheduled library time each week. Students may visit the library before and after school to do homework or read quietly. Students may not visit the library at recess or lunch without a pass from their teacher or Mrs. Payne.

  3. In the library we: Use quiet voices. Use good shelf manners by using the shelf markers and putting books away in their proper place. What part of the book should be facing you? Remember to return our library books each week. Treat books gently and return them in good condition. We don’t eat or drink in the library. Keep the books in a safe place in the classroom and at home. Read quietly at the tables or carpet area.

  4. Using the Mails Library Catalog Our library catalog can be used in the library and from any computer. Simply go to our school home page and click on the library link.

  5. Once you click on the library link, the page has a link to our library catalog. Scroll all the way down to the bottom for the link, as well as links to other book and reading sites.

  9. Parts of a book:

  10. What is a call number and why does it matter? The CALL NUMBER is the “address” of the book. It tells us where the book is shelved in the library. Why does it matter??? CALL NUMBERS are made up of two parts.

  11. Fiction Call Numbers Let’s say you are looking for the book “Things Not Seen” by Andrew Clements. The first part of the call number is F. The F stands for fiction. The second part of the call number is the first 3 letters of the author’s last name. What is the call number for this book? What is the call number for a book by Gary Paulson?

  12. Easy Fiction Call Numbers Easy fiction books are also know as picture books in our library. The call number is still in two parts. The first part of the call number is E and, in our library, usually has a yellow label over the spine label. If you are looking for the book, Olivia by Ian Falconer, what would be the call number?

  13. How do we put Fiction and Easy Fiction in order on the shelf? Think….how do we put letters in order? We use ABC order to put letters in order. We use the same idea to put the call numbers in order. If we have three books with these call numbers, what order will we put them? FFF PAU ABB CLE What about these? F FFCOUCLO COV

  14. Non-Fiction Call Numbers All non-fictions books are shelved by a system called the “Dewey Decimal” System. The Dewey Decimal system was developed many years ago to group non-fiction books . It makes it easier for us to find books about a particular subject. Non-Fiction books are shelved in number order first, then by the author. Non-fiction numbers start with 000 and go through 999.999 The call number has two parts: the number and the first three initials of the authors last name.

  15. So, lets say we want a book about planets. What Dewey decimal section would we look at? Use the chart below to help you.

  16. Biographies What is a biography? In our library, we keep biographies in a separate area. Biographies in our library have a special call number. We use B (for biography) and the first three letters of the last name of the person the biography is about. A book about George Washington would have a call number of - B Was. What would the call number be for a book about Rosa Parks?

  17. Where will you find these books? Where can you find a book about the Sioux tribe? What section ofthe library will you find a novel by Gary Paulson? What section of the library will you find a book about weather? What section of the library will you find a book about Thomas Edison? Where can you find the book “Ralph S. Mouse”, by Beverly Cleary? Where will you find the book, “A Perfect Nest” by Catherine Friend?

  18. Read and Enjoy!Ways to enjoy books even more Challenge yourself to read different types of books and try new authors. Keep a log of the books you read, the minutes you read or the number of pages you have read. Keep a notebook of all the new words you’ve learned, or of phrases that you liked. Share a good book with a friend, or parent or teacher. Read the book before you see the movie! Draw a picture of your favorite part of a book, or rewrite the ending. What are some other things you can do?
