LIBRARY BOOKS

Students will have access to books from an AISD Elementary library as well as the McMurry library.  If a student would like to check-out a book from the an AISD library, they may use their laptop to see if it is available.  The books are then checked-out by the teacher.  A student may go with their parent(s) to an AISD library immediately after school to check-out a book as well.  No library time in the Austin library will be scheduled during the school day for the classes at CFI.  Mrs. Brunner, librarian for Austin, will teach lessons twice a month at the McMurry Campus.

Students will use the McMurry library on a weekly basis and will be given opportunities to check-out books. All books must be approved by the teacher before a student may check-out a book from the McMurry library.  Students must comply with the Borrowing Agreement between Abilene ISD and McMurry University.
