Many parents and caregivers are not aware of the planning and preparation it takes to present a 30 minute story time here at the Library. The planning process begins with choosing a theme for each week, particularly one that would be of interest to a toddler or preschool child. Examples of themes often used are Farm, Pond or Jungle Animals, Bedtime, Bath Time, Pets, Monsters, Dinosaurs and Transportation as well as concept themes such as Colors, Counting, Opposites and Shapes. Age appropriate books that are entertaining to small children are then selected, action rhymes are prepared to encourage enjoyment of the rhythm of language, a variety of visual aids are selected to keep a child’s interest during the sessions and songs for dancing or singing are added because very young children are not expected to sit still and listen for 30 minute intervals.

Dexter District Library also has a wide variety of programming materials for story times. There are over 300 interactive, pop-up and lift-the-flap books in our Professional Collection and our story time cupboards hold a huge collection of hand puppets, finger puppets, story telling kits, literacy bags, flannel board pieces, rhythm sticks and other materials that encourage the love of reading. The Friends of the Dexter District Library have also purchased several popular children’s books in big book format to add to the Professional Collection and an easel to hold the books, making it easier to read and show during story times. This collection has become very useful when children need to sit and listen to a book for a longer period of time.

Attendance at story times is often a child’s first introduction to the many services offered by the Dexter District Library. When the program is geared to their interests with the knowledge of what is developmentally appropriate for their age group, the Library has the opportunity to create life-long readers and Library users in the Dexter Community. It is with this knowledge in mind, that story times are carefully planned and implemented to introduce the entertaining side of literature to young children.

Tips for Story Time Success

For many children this will be their first group experience. The following tips will help to make it a happy one:

• Participate:  Please join in the activities and save interactions with other parents until after the program. Children love to see their grown-ups listening and participating in story times.
• Minimize distractions: Plan to arrive early. Snacks or toys should be put away and cell phones should be silenced before story times begin.
• Be prepared for bad days: It’s okay, sometimes children just have bad days and we understand.  If your child becomes very restless or uncooperative, please step outside the story time room for a few moments to regroup. If you need to leave the session for the day, please come back the following week.
• Relax: There is no expectation that your child will sit still and participate in every activity. Music and movement is incorporated into our all of our story times to keep it interesting and fun.
• Bring it back home:  Plan to check out books each week for you and your child to read at home together.
• Ask for help:  Our Library staff is available to assist you in selecting which story time is right for your child, to guide you in choosing appropriate books and materials, and to provide information about other library services.
• Visits from groups:  Our weekly story times are designed for individual children and their parent or caregiver. Arrangements for a daycare, school or other group field trips should be made in advance.
• Keep it healthy:  If you suspect that your child is coming down with something, has a fever or is still coughing or sneezing after a bad cold, please skip a session until they are feeling 100% again.

Computers

The Dexter District Library has four public use computer terminals for children.  These computers have Windows 7 and are loaded with the Microsoft Office 2007 suite.  Full color printing is available for 20 cents a page.

Safety

We encourage children of all ages to visit and enjoy the library.

Children ages six through eleven may use all areas of the Library alone, but a parent or other adult must be on the Library premises.

Children aged twelve and over are welcome to use the Library without an adult on the premises.

Borrowing Cards

Up to the age of 16, children may have their own borrowing card with parental permission. Parents are responsible for what their children borrow and for assuring that materials are returned or replaced when lost. A parent signature is required when a child is issued a borrowing card.

To find more levels and more books for each level, go to:

http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/

There you will find a tab for: Book Wizard.
Click on “Search by Reading Level”. Click the button for “Guided Reading Level”.
This matches the Fountas and Pinnell system the schools are using. Use the arrows to pull up an alphabetic menu and select the desired level range. (EXAMPLE: “A” to “A”, “H” to “J”)
After it runs the search for your requested level(s), you can narrow the selections to grade interest level with the menu on the left.

 

PLEASE BE AWARE: Scholastic has informed us that the Guided Reading Level system is still being revised. As books are used by teachers, they submit suggestions on changes to the system. We have done our best to apply the leveling system to the books in our collection, but it may vary from what you find in the Book Wizard, or in the Fountas and Pinnell Leveled Book List Index. We have also discovered that the leveling is VERY different from the way that Accelerated Reader and Lexile ratings are applied. Books in each level may vary in the amount of text, size of font and other readability factors. Preview the items to make sure they are a good fit for your child.

Dexter District Library
Field Trip Guidelines

The Dexter District Library is happy to offer the opportunity for school classes, preschools and other organized groups of children to visit the Library for tours, introductions to the resources available in the Library’s collections and Library programs. At the same time, the Library also needs to provide a welcoming atmosphere to all families within our community. In order to provide excellent services to all, the Library has established the following guidelines for groups visiting the Library. Adherence to these guidelines will help the Library ensure continuity of service to all patrons and ensure your group has an enjoyable and positive visit.

SCHEDULING – LIBRARY TOURS

• Plan to schedule your visit at least 2 weeks in advance. The Library can accommodate groups of up to 35 as staffing and library programming allow. Discuss special arrangements for larger groups with us.
• We can provide library card applications for your group. Applications for Library cards must be returned to the Library no later than one week prior to your group’s visit. We cannot issue library cards for groups at the time of your visit.
• All children must present a valid Library card, free of fines or other charges, in order to check out materials. Staff cannot loan materials to children who visit the Library without a valid Library card.
• Please remind parents the day before the field trip to send the Library card with the child.
• If a child’s card has fines for late, lost or damaged materials, a parent will need to visit the Library in advance of the field trip to clear the child’s record.
• Parents, teachers or chaperones with a valid Library card may check out materials for children but that individual adult will be responsible for ensuring the materials are returned to the Library and any fines or fees associated with late, lost or damaged items are paid.
• Please be sure to ask about parking arrangements as necessary.
• Call if your group will be delayed or if you need to cancel your trip.

LIBRARY MANNERS

Groups of children must be supervised at all times. Please plan at least 1 adult chaperone for every 7 children in your group. Chaperones will be responsible for monitoring and correcting individual behavior. Disruptive groups may be asked to end their trip early.

Please share the below guidelines with staff, parents, chaperones and students.

• Follow all instructions and directions from the library staff.
• Chaperones must turn off or set all cell phones to vibrate.
• Chaperones should refrain from personal conversations between one another during the visit.
• Stay with your group.
• Do not disturb others who may be working or reading in the library.
• Walk in the library.
• Food, drinks, gum, etc. must be disposed before entering the Library.
• Please enjoy the materials and treat them with respect. Handle them gently and leave them on the tables for the Library staff to reshelve.

ATTENDING REGULARLY SCHEDULED LIBRARY PROGRAMMING

The Library offers a variety of informative and entertaining program events geared towards children. While larger groups are welcome to attend, these events are presented for the enjoyment of the community at large and individual families will receive priority seating.

• Groups of more than 10 children must contact the Library at least one week in advance of the program to confirm availability of space.
• Groups must arrive at least 15 minutes in advance of the scheduled event in order to be seated.
• Groups arriving after the start of an event will not be admitted.
• Children must be seated together and with the group chaperones.
• Chaperones must monitor the behavior of individual children in their charge and remove disruptive individuals. In the case of significant disruptions, groups may be barred from future attendance.
• Groups will be limited to attending events that do not require registration.
