About the Library:
The Morning Creek Library is home to a well-organized collection of over 14,000 titles available for students and teachers to explore. In the library, our mission is to provide a welcoming space where students will develop a love and curiosity for reading, while also nurturing their growth as lifelong independent learners through the utilization of informative resources.
Library Rules:
- Respect the library materials
- Everything has a correct place
- Always share by returning your books to the library
- Don’t disturb others while in the library
Library Procedures:
- Check-Out Procedures:
All classes visit the library weekly, at the same scheduled time each week. TK-2nd grade students may check out one book each library visit. 3rd-5th grade students may check out up to two books each library visit. Students may also check out an additional title for research, if needed. All check-outs are for one week. Students may renew a book for an extra week by placing a renewal request note from their classroom in the book. - Check-In Procedures:
Books are due no later than the morning of their class library visit, though preferentially the day before. Students should place returned books in the drop box at the library circulation desk. - Overdue, Lost, and Damaged Books:
Students who have overdue books may not check out other books until the overdue books are returned. Lost books must be paid for in full or replaced with a new copy of the same book or a different book, of equal value, from our Morning Creek Amazon wish list. A bill will be sent home to the student's family, and checks should be made payable to 'MCES-Library'. Any book that is damaged will be assessed as to whether the book can be repaired or must be replaced. Replacement procedures will be the same as those for lost books.
Amazon Wish List:
Our Morning Creek Amazon Wish List can be found here: Amazon.com. Please use this list for purchasing a title to replace a lost or damaged book, or in case you would like to donate a book to the library. You can ship the book to your own home and bring in the book to school, or you can have it shipped to Morning Creek Elementary School / Attn: Noelle Bergmans, 10925 Morning Creek Dr. S, San Diego, CA 92128
