Students are able to check out 5 books at a time, for 4 weeks. They can renew the book if there are no other holds on the book.

Students are responsible for knowing when their books are due. Each book has a date due stamped in the front to help them remember. If there is damage to the book, students may have to pay to fix or replace the book. Overdue notices fines are emailed out at least once a month.

We have a large selection of ebooks on SORA, including Overdrive (used at the public library). Talk to a librarian if you would like to learn how to check out an ebook on your device.

Library computers are for academic use only and are not to be used for computer games unless a teacher has it as part of an assignment.

Rules 

The West Ada School District’s Literary Games are designed to encourage/push you to read a wider variety of things this year. Because it is a personal challenge, not a contest, most of it is based on the honor system. However, you will get the most benefit from this challenge, and will truly earn your prize(s), if you follow the intended rules and guidelines. 

  • Participants include West Ada students who are in grades 6-12 in the current school year as well as district staff.  

  • Read one book in 30 different categories.

  • Document each book you read on its category page in your Literary Games Notebook. Documenting must include the title, the author, and a description. The description can be anything, including a picture, favorite quote, review, etc.  Pick up a notebook in the library.

  • You can only count a book for one category, even if it could fit in multiple categories. Pick the best fit! 

  • Books must be at least 100 pages long unless noted by an asterisk (*). Those books with an asterisk may be shorter than 100 pages if you wish.  

  • You should strive to read books appropriate for your age and reading level. 

  • You should choose books that you have not previously read (except for category 29). 

  • Unabridged audiobooks count for any category. 

  • Graphic novels count for any category. 

  • Books must be finished between November 1, 2024- April 1st, 2025 to count. 

  • You must turn in your Literary Games Notebook to your school librarian by the end of the school day on April 1st, 2024.
