The mission of Lamar CISD Librarians is to create a physical and digital environment in which our students, staff, and community can strengthen their natural inquisitive nature, foster a love of reading, and serve as a collaborative resource for teachers and staff in developing and delivering powerful learning experiences across all curricular areas.

    • Students visit the library every other week as part of their ISD rotations. Students will be able to check out books and will also meet for lessons.
    • The library is open for morning chec in and check out from 7:15 – 7:35
    • Students can also visit the library individually as needed, with their teacher's permission.  
    • Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade students are permitted to check out one book at a time. 
    • Third grade students, fourth grade students, and fifth grade students are permitted to check out 3 books at a time. 
    • Students may not check out more books unless the previous ones are returned.
  • The Bowie Dragons Library Birthday Book Club is a great way to add new books to our library collection while celebrating your child’s birthday. Contact Mr. Leasure for more information. 

  • The library sponsors a book fair in the fall and an additional book fair in the spring. The proceeds from these book fairs help to purchase titles to add to the existing collection and fund reading incentive programs. The library also sponsors the Bluebonnet Reading Incentive Program.

  • Library volunteers are an essential part of our program. They help in running the circulation desk, labeling and shelving books, which allows the librarian to devote more time to teach children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information masters. Please contact Mr. Leasure, if you are interested in volunteering.

  • When a book is returned damaged beyond repair, the replacement cost of the book will be charged. Damage to library materials includes but is not limited to: spills from food, drink or other substances, damage to cover or spine, cutting or tearing pages, writing with pencil, pen, markers, etc.
