The Library Media Program at Christ the King Catholic School is committed to the success of its students, enabling them to become effective users of information and lifelong learners preparing for the 21st Century. Through collection development, teacher collaboration and student instruction, the library works to support the curriculum, facilitate information literacy skills, foster literature appreciation, a love of reading, and promote social responsibility.

 

LIBRARY CHECK-OUTS
Last year we had about 7,000 books checked out. We love that our students are such great readers. We hope to beat that check out number this year so get ready to
use your library card!

 

REMINDER

Any overdue books are fined on a daily basis. Your teacher should have the list of students who owe books and fines to the library. The cost to replace any lost or damaged CKCS library book is $25.00.

WELCOME TO THE CKCS LIBRARY

Library Information

Thank you for visiting the library section of the CKCS webpage.  This is my first year as the school librarian at Christ the King, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here!   All students come to the library once a week as a class to checkout books, read, listen to a story, do library research using text and computer resources, and/or work on projects.   It is a beautiful facility with approximately 10,000 books purchased to enhance the curriculum and foster a love of reading. 

The bookfair is tentatively scheduled for the Week of November 29th right after we get back from the Thanksgiving holidays.  Please remember that this important fundraiser will be a great place to buy Christmas gifts. 

At CKCS we utilize the Accelerated Reader program to promote and encourage reading.  The minimum points required for Accelerated Reading are determined by the classroom teacher.  The library acknowledges the efforts of students who read and test on far more than the minimum with the Top Reader Awards (grades 3-8) and Outstanding Reader Awards (grades 1-2) as detailed on this webpage.  Please email me at library@ctheking.org if you have any questions about our library or the Accelerated Reader program. 

God Bless,

Mrs. Emily Coate
