Yinghua Academy Library

Supporting learning is the primary mission of Yinghua Academy’s library. Students and faculty/staff are encouraged to use the library on a regular basis:
  • Each classroom is scheduled for a library session 1 time each week for 20-30 minutes.  During library session, students may participate in a “Library Skills Lesson”, book reading time, or simply check out books.  It is important for students to return their books on their scheduled library session.  Please help your student to do this.  See library schedule at www.yinghuaacademy.org/current-families/library/library-schedule/
  •   Parent volunteers and classroom teachers make every effort to help students choose materials that are appropriate for their reading level and interests.  
  • Students are allowed to check out 2 books, one English and one Chinese.  
  • Students must return their checked out books at each library session in order to check out new books.  Students may return their books at any time to the library return drop box, located outside the multipurpose room. 
  •  Books are considered overdue after 3 weeks.  Students may renew a book, if book is not requested by another, up to 2 times.  
  • A $10.00 replacement fee is required for a lost or damaged item.  This $10.00 fee can be turned in to the front office, with a note indicating the child’s name and it is for a lost/damaged book.  Damaged Book = if a library item is returned in a condition that makes it unusable.  Lost Book = if an item is checked out and is six weeks overdue.

NOTE:  All library fees must be paid in full in order to receive report cards.

Acceptable use of the library:  When you use the library at school, you must follow library rules that help us learn, such as being quiet, no throwing books, no running, etc. If the rules are broken, you will get a warning and be asked to change your behavior. If the misbehavior continues then you will be given logical consequences, such as losing library sessions or not being allowed to check out books.  Your parents will be notified about the behavior and the consequences. Yinghua Academy library operates a birthday book program and a summer reading challenge program.  For more information on these programs, please visit www.yinghuaacademy.org/current-families/library/ .
