Library Program
The library is open to students during first and second recess and also
after school until 3:00 p.m. We ask that students in grades 2-5 have a
library pass during recess and come with a purpose in mind when visiting
the library.
Classes in grades K-5 visit the library every other week on a Week A or
Week B schedule for 45 minutes. Lessons on Library and Information
Skills are provided and time is given for borrowing books. The library
has a collection of models, artifacts, and objects that students may
handle and look at during their visit. Students are taught to remember
the 6 pillars when visiting the library so that they are considerate of
each other.
We have 15 search stations where students have access to our Online Card
Catalog to search for books in the library’s collection of 25,000 books.
Grade 5 students can borrow Watch-and-Read Videos on a one-day loan
basis or over a weekend.
Borrowing Policy for each Grade:
K-1 = 2 books
2 = 3 books
3-4 = 3 books & a magazine
5 = 3 books & a magazine or video (one day loan)
The Mililani Uka Library Club is for fifth grade students who help in
the library during recess and meet on Fridays after school.
