Library Books We take good care of our books here at DT Elementary. First & second graders check out ONE book, and 3,4, & 5 graders check out TWO books! If your books are lost or damaged, the student and his or her family is responsible for paying for the book.

Birthday Book Club There is a new way to celebrate your birthday here at DT Elementary! You can purchase a book for our library. Parents can fill out a form and send in $15. You get to pick out the subject of the book and get a special card placed in the book with your name and birthday. You get to be the FIRST PERSON to check out the book!

A Makerspace is a place where we can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore, and discover using a variety of tools and materials. We will take part in hands-on activities that will encourage you to inquire, collaborate, solve problems, explore, think critically and innovate! Please clean up all Makerspace materials!! We will need to share and work well as a team!

Keep it Neat Everything in the library has a special place. Please don’t put books back in the wrong place. If you don’t know where it goes, put it on the return cart. All Makerspace materials must be put away correctly in its proper place.
