VSBA Books
All year, students can participate in the Volunteer State Book Award (V.S.B.A.) Reading Challenge. There are two categories: The Primary List (Kindergarten through Second Grade) and The Intermediate Category (Third through Fifth Grade). Once students read a VSBA book, they must have their parent or teacher sign the VSBA Reading Tracking Sheet, next to the title that they have read. If students read six books on the list for their respective categories, they get invited to the V.S.B.A. party at the end of the year (TBD). If a student successfully reads 10 books on the list, they will receive a goodie-bag filled with educational/book related prizes. And finally, if students read all 20 books on their designated list, they will receive the prestigious Sizemore Award.

Book Policies
Damaged Books
Please return damaged books to the library for repair. Accidents can and do happen. Books that become damaged beyond repair must be replaced so others may continue to check them out. A damage bill with replacement costs will be sent home. Should a page accidentally rip, please return your book to the library and we will repair the book with special tape. Checkout privileges are suspended until arrangements are made between parents and the Library Media Center to take care of Damaged Book Fines.
Overdue Books
There is not a fine for overdue books. However, students must return books to checkout books and maintain their book limit.
Lost Books
Books that have not surfaced in 30 days are presumed to be lost. An overdue bill with the cost of replacing the book will be sent home. Checkout privileges are suspended until arrangements are made between parents and the Library Media Center to take care of Lost Books.
If a lost book is found within the same year it was paid for, you may return it to the library and our school bookkeeper will issue a refund check. If a lost book is found during another school year the book is yours to keep.

Our Mission
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Trinity Library Media Center is to provide materials and resources to support the curriculum while encouraging the love of reading and independent inquiry. Our goal is that students will develop into independent library users of information and technology while becoming life-long learners with a love of reading.
Mission Statement for Students:
The Trinity Library Media Center provides the resources that teachers and students need during the school year, but we also want to you to read amazing stories and learn about things that interest you that we might not talk about very much while we’re in school. During your time in the LMC, we want you learn to be independent and find the things you need and want so you can explore and answer questions you might have. If you learn to do it now, you can do this at other schools and when you are an adult!
