African-American Read-In
During the month of February, schools, churches, libraries, bookstores, community and professional organizations, and interested citizens are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month by hosting an African American Read-In. At BEHS, we invite teachers to bring classes to the library and students share poetry, lyrics, or text passages written by African-Americans. Students (and teachers) may read alone, with a partner, or even sing us their selections. Teachers can expect the sign-up information to be sent out a few weeks prior to the event. To prepare: Go to this page of resources we've created Suggest poems, songs, or books to be included in our program Visit the library's book display (coming in February)

Ms. Kenney - @behslibrary or janetkenney@bristolk12.org Mrs. Newman - wendynewman@bristolk12.org Can I use my phone during study hall? No. We expect all phones to be put away in our toolbox during study halls. When can I come to the library? NO PASSES are needed BEFORE/ AFTER SCHOOL or DURING YOUR LUNCH, but space is first come, first served. If you want to come during study hall, you need to come to the library BEFORE THE 7:25 BELL and sign-up for the period you’d like to come. If the library is reserved for classes during particular periods, space may be limited. If you have a study hall library pass, please come directly to the library. We will take your attendance. If you want to come during a class, your classroom teacher should call us first to make sure we have space and then sign a pass in your agenda. We will only accept passes from the teacher you are scheduled for during that block (for instance, if you are supposed to be in Science Class, we will NOT accept a pass from your English teacher) YOUR SUBJECT TEACHER CANNOT GIVE YOU A STUDY HALL PASS!!! SUBSTITUTES MAY NOT sign library passes--so please don’t ask them to :) What are your Circulation Policies? (how many books can be checked out, etc.) Fiction and Non-Fiction Books are checked out for 3 weeks Reference Books (like encyclopedias) can be checked out overnight. Magazines may NOT be checked out. If you need an old one to cut out pictures from, ask us. If you have any overdue materials, you may lose privileges to check out more books. You can renew the book (check-it out again) as many times as needed--as long as no one else put it on hold. You do NOT have to have a book with you to renew it--just ask us!
