Library Overview

This image is a colorful, retro-style promotional poster for the Becerra Elementary Library. On the left side, a cartoon bull mascot stands upright holding and reading a large red book. The mascot has tan and brown coloring, curved horns, large expressive eyes, and is dressed in a green jacket with light-colored pants

  • Funds raised by the library help expand the collection, provide enriching programs, bring authors to campus, and support resources and opportunities that benefit all students.

    To promote a love of reading, the library sponsors several voluntary reading programs throughout the year, including Beanstack Challenges and the Spring Book Festival Reading Program for students in grades 3-5.

    • Fall Book Fair 
    • Spring Book Fair
    • Spring Book Festival

  • The library is open during school hours and serves all students through the weekly specials rotation. The librarian provides literacy-based lessons for students in Pre-K through 5th grade, and each visit includes time for students to browse and check out books.

    1st semester:
    Kindergarten and 1st Grade = 1 book
    2nd - 5th grade = 2 books

    2nd semester:

    Kindergarten = 1 book

    1st  and 2nd grade = 2 books

    3rd grade - 5th grade = 3 books

    If library books are late, students will need to return books before checking out again.

    While there is no fine for overdue books, materials overdue by 30 days or more are assumed to be lost and a replacement fee will be assessed. If you feel our records are in error kindly call Becerra Elementary and ask for Ms. Castillo, the librarian.

  • Library volunteers are an essential and valuable part of our library program. They help to run the circulation desk, label and shelve books, and allow the librarian to devote more time to teach children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information masters. 

    Please contact the Becerra Librarian, Ms. Castillo if you are interested in volunteering.

  • If a book is lost or damaged beyond repair, payment is required. The librarian will notify you if a lost/damaged fine has been placed onto your child's account. Only cash payments are accepted. Please send the payment to school or your child’s teacher in a sealed envelope marked “Attention Library”. Payment is refundable if a lost book is found and returned in good condition within 30 days. Book replacements are only purchased by the librarian and are not accepted as payment as our books are specially made for the high usage volume.
