2. Welcome to the Fairhope Intermediate Library! by Ms. Salsamendi and Mrs. Moore

3. Meet Ms. Salsamendi Ms. Salsamendi has been a fifth grade teacher, a fourth grade teacher, and a librarian. She loves to go to the beach, swim, and surf. Her favorite book is Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

4. Meet Mrs. Moore Mrs. Moore has worked at the FIS library for 10 years! Her favorite book is also Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. She is excited about the arrival of a grandson in December.

5. Take care of our books! Use a bookmark. Dog-eared pages tear very easily. Keep your books away from pets and babies. Do not leave books outside. Do not write in books. Do not peel labels off of the books.

6. Library Rules Come in quietly. Use the correct doors to enter and exit. No running. When reading a series, read the books in the order they are numbered.

7. Always… Ask permission to take an A.R. test Use a shelf marker Leave the library neat and clean. Bring your A.R. folder, book, and pencil. If you come to the library without your folder, you will be sent back to the classroom to get it.

8. Accelerated Reader Keep your A.R. log sheet up-to-date at all times. You must only take AR tests on books that are in your reading range. Tests taken on books outside your range will be deleted. Only one book exchange is allowed per quarter.

9. A.R. continued… Books that are not part of A.R. are “fun books.” You may check out one fun book each quarter after you have met your goal (points and comprehension). Save A.R. papers in your A.R. folder throughout the school year.

10. A.R. continued You may only test on up to 2 half- point books each quarter. Be honest about your A.R. test scores.

11. Box Tops and Soup Labels Bring your Box Tops to the library with your name already written on the back to enter a monthly contest! Also bring Campbell’s soup labels to the library. We get lots of money for new books from Box Tops and soup labels!

12. Read, read, read! We are looking forward to a great school year with YOU!
