Welcome to the Pearson Early Childhood
School Library

This is Mrs. Ramirez second year as the librarian at Pearson ECS. She earned Master of Science from Texas A&M-Commerce and has three years experience as a classroom teacher. Mrs. Ramirez enjoys spending time with her family and reading.

Mrs. Lewis is the Librarian Assistant. This is my first year to work in the library. I enjoy reading, watching football, walking my dog, and spending time with my husband and two sons. 

Mrs. Ramirez and Mrs. Lewis enjoy sharing our love for reading with the students at Pearson. Thank You and Happy Reading!

 

Welcome to our school library page! Please stop by the library to acquaint yourself with what it has to offer you and your children. We are always happy to help you with your library needs. Pearson library is a busy place for students, teachers, and families. Our focus is to provide children with an inviting environment that encourages the love of reading. We believe that immersing young children into the joys of literature will encourage them to have a lifelong love of reading.

Information About Our Library

• Each class visits the library for storytime every other week, alternating with classroom counselor lessons. Storytime includes checking out a book to share at home. Our storytime lessons support the classroom curriculum, which is based on the state PreK guidelines. Children are introduced to award winning books in all genres.
• Your child may check out one book at a time. All of our students are given a special library book bag to transport their library book to and from home. The book must be returned on or before their next storytime in order to check out a new one. If it is forgotten, you may send it the following day and a teaching assistant will be happy to bring your child down for a new book.
• If a book is lost or damaged, the book must be paid for before another book can be checked out. We ask that children look for lost books at home and in the classroom before paying for the book. Books are considered lost after 30 days. If a book is lost, we will send a notice with your child with the cost of the book. Please send a check to school made out to Pearson ECS. Money paid for a lost book will be gladly refunded, if the book is returned undamaged during the current school year. We love to find lost books!
• We spend a lot of time learning about how to care for library books. Please assist your child by establishing a special place for your child’s library book and discuss book care together as a family. Most importantly, read the library book with your child to promote enjoyment of literature and to establish good reading habits!
