    What is the most important thing to bring with you when you come to the library during the school day?

    • Class schedule

    • Backpack

    • Social security number

    • Signed pass or passbook from teacher

    Correct Answer
    A. Signed pass or passbook from teacher
    Explanation
    The most important thing to bring with you when you come to the library during the school day is a signed pass or passbook from your teacher. This is important because it shows that you have permission to be in the library and it helps the librarian keep track of who is using the library at any given time. Without a signed pass or passbook, you may not be allowed to enter the library or use its resources.

    Almost all of the materials in the library can be checked out by students. Which of the following materials can NOT be checked out by students?

    • Magazines

    • Newspapers

    • Encyclopedias

    • Nonfiction

    Correct Answer
    A. Newspapers
    Explanation
    Newspapers cannot be checked out by students because they are typically considered reference materials that need to be available for all students to access. Unlike books and magazines, newspapers are often updated daily and contain current information that may be relevant to multiple students at the same time. Therefore, they are kept in the library for everyone to read and cannot be taken out of the library.
