Mission Statement

The mission of Lamar Consolidated ISD Librarians is to create a physical and digital environment in which our students, staff, and community can strengthen their natural inquisitive nature, foster a love of reading, and serve as a collaborative resource for teachers and staff in developing and delivering powerful learning experiences across all curricular areas.

Student Checkout and Classes

The library is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. Students visit the library every week for checkouts and every other week for a library lesson. 

Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and first grade students are permitted to checkout one book per week. Students in second, third, fourth and fifth grades may checkout two books per week. They may not checkout any new books unless the previous books are returned or renewed.

Library Activities

The library sponsors a fall book fair and a Read-A-Thon fundraiser. These events are to encourage at home reading and the proceeds are used to help to buy books and pay for special author visits and programs. In addition, the library sponsors several voluntary reading enrichment programs including the Texas Bluebonnet Reading Club (grades 3-5), the Texas 2x2 Reading Club (grades K-2), the Six Flags Six Hour Reading Club (K-5), Austin Reading Incentive Program (PK-5), the Book-It reading program (K-5).

Volunteers

Library volunteers are an essential part of our program. They help in running the circulation desk, labeling and shelving books, which allows the librarian to devote more time to teach children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information masters. Please contact Mrs. Wagner if you are interested in volunteering.
