Welcome Hawks to the Copper Creek Library!
There is so much going on this year in the library! The first quarter begins with finding our "Just Right" books for all grades and introducing students to the library. The second quarter incorporates all things kindness, our unity lessons, and books celebrating all the Holidays! The third quarter begins with changes in our library, including new centers that will begin in January. Please consider helping make centers possible by shopping the Library's Amazon wishlist HERE!!
Each month our Library is processing NEW books. CLICK HERE to browse from over 35,000 books found in our library for this school year. Books are divided into popular categories, as well as a "NEW" book category, so that you can see what is coming soon to our Library.
Parents: For questions related to Library book collections, what your student is checking out, and book accessibility, please email kkonishi@amphi.com.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Our library loves having parents, grandparents, and our Copper Creek community volunteer to help students find books, check out services, shelve books, and so much more.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email Mrs. Konishi at kkonishi@amphi.com. . Thanks so much!

LIBRARY POLICY
In the Library:
Students are expected to observe Library Rules and Expectations regarding library usage, including:
- NO food or drinks in the Library
- NO running around the library; walking feet
- NO outside voices
In an effort to provide library patrons a quiet reading space, no more than four students allowed to sit at each table. In other areas of the library, whisper voices may be used at appropriate times.
Library Computers:
The mini-computer lab is for Library search, ONLY.
Patron Library Book(s) Check Out:
- Kindergarten - 1st Grade students can check out one book at one time, for two weeks.
- 2nd - 5th Grades students can check out two books at one time, for two weeks.
- Parents can register for a library card any time of the year. All you need is a student at Copper Creek and a Driver's License. Parents can check out six books at once, for up to two weeks at a time.
- Teachers can check out as many books as needed for instruction, one month at a time. If you require additional time, please renew.
Renewals:
Books may be renewed twice, provided no one else has requested the title.
Fines:
Everyone benefits from the prompt return of library books. We do not issue late-fee fines. However, if a book is lost, damaged, or not returned, a replacement-cost fee will be applied to your account. If fees are not paid for by the end of the current school year, report cards will not be released until the student account is cleared of fees incurred.
Lost or Damaged Books:
There is a replacement cost for lost and damaged books. Any books that are not returned by the end-of-school year will be considered lost. Therefore, replacement costs for lost books will be applied to students account.

Values
Here at Copper Creek we value the "Freedom of Reading." What this means is that you have the right to read anything you are interested in reading. During the new school year orientation, students are reminded to have tolerance towards others who are different then them, this also applies to differences in reading choices. We are not all going to have the same taste in books. Read what you love!
