Library Handbook for Teachers | Elementary

What's the login to...? Can I send a student to the library at lunch? Is the library available at...? This editable school library handbook for teachers contains everything your teachers want to know about the library, all in one "Handy-Dandy" place!

This handbook is for Elementary Librarians (Grades PreK-5). Click here for the secondary handbook. It is not necessary to purchase both Handy-Dandys--there are only a few small differences between them.

Needed to use this handbook: PowerPoint, printer, comb-binding machine (or similar way to create booklets for teachers) and supplies for the machine

You DO have my permission to post the Handy-Dandy on your school or library website! Please ensure it is in secure, PDF format (not the editable PowerPoint).

This handbook contains 17 unique pages, plus 6 pages of tips for use. All text is editable in PowerPoint:

• Cover page (clip art is not editable)
• Table of Contents
• Meet Your Librarian
• Meet Your Library
• Library Use Policies
• Checkout Policies
• Using the Library Catalog
• School's Online Resources (includes a table for URLs and login information)
• About Copyright
• Laminating Services
• Scheduling the Library
• Scheduling the Laptop Trolley (also works for computer labs)
• Laptop Reservations General Guidelines
• We Have a Makerspace!
• My Passwords (page for teachers to record additional passwords)
• My Notes (lined space for teachers to use as needed; works great as a filler if you have one extra blank page)
• blank page with only the border (duplicate the slide and add text boxes to create additional pages)
• Library Schedule (in landscape view and on separate PowerPoint in the file--turn it to the side when binding the Handy-Dandy)
