Classroom Libraries

All books in classroom libraries must meet district standards and Texas state laws.

Teachers may only include books that are listed in the district library catalog for their specific grade level.

Any books not found in the district catalog must be removed from classroom collections immediately.

Teachers should consult with their campus librarian if they have questions about a book's status.

An annual review of all classroom collections is required.

This review ensures ongoing compliance and allows for the removal of outdated or unapproved materials.

Librarians play a crucial role in supporting teachers with classroom libraries.

They can assist with how to use the catalog, catalog checks to verify book status and provide guidance on selection criteria for new materials.

Contact your campus librarian for any questions or assistance with your classroom library.
