Library

The mission of the Christ the King Library/Media Center is to expand educational programs:

By providing information in various formats to reinforce curricular objects;
By promoting an awareness of other countries, cultures, and people;
By selecting materials that acknowledge different student reading levels, interests, and capabilities;
By encouraging individual literacy through the promotion of reading as an enjoyable, worthwhile leisure activity;
By empowering individuals with skills to be lifelong learners.

In fulfillment of this mission, the Christ the King School Library/Media Center is committed to providing educational, recreational, and cultural materials as well as personal service to students and staff.

Library Policies

Students should properly care for borrowed books and return books on time. Books are checked out for one week at a time and may be renewed if no other student has them hold. All lost books must be paid for at the replacement cost. Any materials returned in a damaged state will be subject to fines. The fine for an overdue book is 5 cents per school day. Final report cards will not be given to students until all fines are paid.

Supply List

All students in grades 1-8 need to have a library folder with paper and pencil inside.

Library Prayers

Grades K-4

Good Morning God,

Wherever you are watch us every minute and guide us every step because we hope to make our day blessed and beautiful in every way. Amen

Be near me Lord Jesus. I ask you to stay close by me forever and love me I pray. Amen

Grades 5-8

When I come to the library I open my eyes and ears to Your world around me. Give me the will to listen and learn; the patience to work well; the courage to seek and question. Thank you for this gift and be close to me and teach me to enjoy learning and do my best.
