DeMiguel Elementary School

Library Media

Welcome to the DeMiguel Library!

The goal of our school library is to encourage students to become life-long readers with advanced library skills, computer knowledge, and the ability to research any subject. Most importantly, we want our DeMiguel students to have a "love of reading," and respect for all books!

DeMiguel's library serves over 550 pre-school through 5th grade students. Teachers, DeMiguel staff, and parents also have access to our school library. Children come to the library with their homeroom for scheduled library time every week. Along with regular class times, students can come to the library on their own for book selection, research, special projects, and computer use.

The DeMiguel library has many programs and contests. We have the Million Word/ 100,000 Word program, a Winter Reading Challenge, a Bookmark Contest, and the Scholastic Book Fair every year.

1. Do not eat or drink near your ipad.
2. Store your ipad in a safe & clean place when not in use.
3. Clean your ipad screen often with a designated screen cleaner.
Do not use, window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the iPad.

If you do not have a cleaner then use a clean, dry, soft cloth.) Do not spray directly on screen; spray cloth instead.
1. Clean your keyboard and cover with a non-bleach cleaner or disinfecting wipe. Do not spray directly on keyboard or cover. Spray on cloth first and then wipe down cover/keyboard.
2. Please do not write on your ipad screen with a dry erase pen, permanent marker or crayons.
