This is the second of three lessons at the beginning of the course that set the students up for success in the second grade library program. We establish our routine of reading and discussion as well as relate behavior in the library to the school-wide guidelines and learn to properly care for books borrowed from the library. These three elements will allow students to learn other information literacy skills during the year that will allow for greater independence.

Bridge Comment
Last week we talked a lot about being Responsible, Respectful and Ready in the Library. (Show a couple student examples from last week that describe being responsible in the library). One way to show you are responsible it so take good care of library books so they can be shared again and again.

Transition Comment:
Borrowing a book from the library is a big responsibility. Raise your hand if you think you can take good care of library books. Excellent! Next week, we will look at some of your work about being Respectful and Ready in the library, like we did today about being Responsible. Those are all three great things to think about on the first day of book check out.
