    Dear Comet Families,

    This school year, your child will visit the Britt Elementary Media Center and check out a book from our collection! We hope this will be the beginning of a lifetime of love of reading and information gathering! The following is a list of our Media Center's book checkout procedures: 

    • Students in Kindergarten and First Grade may check out one book at a time.
    • Students in Second through Fifth Grade may check out two books at a time. 
    • Students may keep books for up to two weeks.
    • Students may be allowed more books for checkout for things such as special research projects.

    Your child's teacher will inform you of when they will be visiting the Media Center. It is our wish for students to learn to be responsible for taking care of the materials checked out from the Media Center.  Here is how you can help! Choose a special, safe place to keep the book while it is at home. Teach your child how to protect a book from food, liquids, and younger siblings. Encourage your child to put the book back in his/her book bag when it’s due. 

    As stated in the Britt Handbook, if a book is lost or beyond repair, the book will need to be replaced. Your child may not be able to check out another book until the book is returned or the fine paid. The replacement cost of a hardback book is $15.00. The replacement cost of a paperback book is $5.00.  

    We look forward to working with your child in the Media Center this year. If you would like to volunteer in the Media Center, please contact me or Mrs. Hodges at the numbers above.

    Looking forward to bookjoy and wonder with you,

    Dennis Howell & Brenda Hodges
