Family Library Accounts
Parents can create a free Family Library Account to check out books. We especially recommend this for Miss Lee's parents because it provides immediate access to the library's extensive preschool board book, picture book, and nonfiction collections. Items check out for two weeks. To register for a Family Library Account, please click here.
Gift Books to Honor Someone
Celebrate a child, teacher, family member, or any occasion with a gift that will last and help your GSL Library!
Here’s how it works:
-
We will select the perfect book for the individual honored.
-
A special commemorative bookplate is placed in the book.
-
If the book is in honor of a child, he/she can be the first one to check that book out.

Accelerated Reader Information
Students may take Accelerated Reading (AR) Quizzes and do diagnostic testing using the Renaissance Learning resources in the library or in their classrooms. Click here to access AR Quizzes, which must be taken on campus.
Click on AR Bookfinder to find out if a given book has an AR quiz and determine its reading level.
Lost or Damaged Books
If a student loses a book, he/she must pay the replacement cost. If the book is found after replacement, the student is welcome to return the book to the library, but the library cannot issue a refund at that point.
The librarian will assess charges for any damaged books depending on the extent of mending required to make it serviceable.
