Kindergartners are learning how to find and choose their own library books. They have learned that books are alphabetical by the author's last name and how to use shelf markers. Once they have found a book that looks interesting, they mark the book's location on the shelf with the marker while they look through the book to be sure it is the one they want. If they choose not to check out that book, the shelf marker helps to ensure that our books are returned to their proper spot. If they want to check out the book, they take the book and the shelf marker to the check out station. Once kindergartners have learned this procedure, they may come to the library with a pass to check out new books.
