    Mission Statement

     


    At Brookhollow's Library, our mission is to foster a vibrant and inclusive learning environment that empowers students to explore, discover, and grow. We are dedicated to promoting a lifelong love of learning, critical thinking, and creativity by providing access to a diverse collection of resources, both physical and digital. 


    Our library serves as a hub for collaboration, innovation, and intellectual engagement, where students, educators, and the entire school community can connect, share ideas, and cultivate their intellectual pursuits.

     
     

    BES Library Policies

    Every grade is able to check out books from the library. PK and Kinder check out one book per student and leave them in the classroom each week. 1st and 2nd grades are allowed to get 2 books per student and second graders are allowed to take them home if they wish. 3rd-5th grades check out 3 books per student and are also allowed to take them home if they choose. 
     
    Students are not fined for late books. However, if they lose or damage a book, they are responsible for paying the cost to replace the book. These fines can be paid in cash or through RevTrak. Simply choose the school library you wish the payment to go to and follow the prompts. 
     
     

    Library Catalog

    Students and parents may access the BES library catalog from any internet connection.

    Users may search the online catalog, create lists of books they would like to read, and make holds from the Destiny Discover catalog. Each student must log into the library catalog with their student ID number and their complex computer password in order to place a hold. Access to the catalog is also helpful when students wonder what items they have out or when the items are due.

    PfISD faculty and students have access to thousands of eBooks and audiobooks on Sora. Access Sora by going to soraapp.com.
