Pop Up Book & Playaway training

How to use Pop up books and Playaways properly!

Pop Up Books are: Interactive books with 3-D pictures

and movable parts. Very entertaining and a different way

to read books. Delicate and easy to tear. A privilege to check out! Expensive to purchase (average

price $25.00).

Pop Up Book care

Do not share your pop up book with anyone other than your parents!

Open them very carefully with two hands. Turn the pages slowly.

Manipulate any movable parts slowly and with extreme care!

Put any removable parts back in its right place before moving on to the next page.

Pop UP Book care

Store PUBs in a safe place when finished. (Backpacks are the best place.)

Do not allow baby brothers, sisters, cousins, or pets to play with PUBs.

Do not leave your PUB at home! Return them on time or you will not be allowed to check out anything until you return it.

Reading Pop Up Books

Some PUBs are text heavy! The first night (maybe 2 nights) take time to

explore the book. Look at the 3-D pictures, pull out tabs, and

movable parts of the book. Scan the text to see how much there will be to

read. On the second or third night start reading your

book. Read the information on each page and on the pull out tabs as well.

Go back and reread anything you do not understand.

PUB check out procedures

PUBs must be returned on time! If they are lost you must pay for them.

Check out privileges will be suspended until the book is paid for or found.

You can not check out a PUB and a Playaway at the same time.

We will draw a name each week from each class

Pop Up Books are housed at the end of the chapter book

section, right next to the Kennedy K’s cart.

Playaways!

What are Playaways? Playaways are pre-loaded digital

audio books in MP3 format. 2 Formats: Abridged (the book was

recorded in a shortened format to provide a pleasant listening experience.) Unabridged (the book was recorded word for word.)

Comes with the cover, ear buds, and the device.

Playaway Etiquette Please wipe off the ear buds with a damp

cloth before returning the Playaway. Return it in the cover with the book and

in the bag. You can only keep it for one week. If it stops working it probably needs a

new battery bring it back to the library. We will fix it.

Students with behavior issues in the library or classroom will not be able to check out Playaways or Pop Ups.

Check out Procedures/Rules We will draw two names each week

using the permission forms. (one for Playaway, one for pop ups)

If your name is drawn you must sign for the Playaway or pop up.

A Playaway counts as two books. You will only be able to get one book from the shelves.

You must return the Playaway or Pop Up during your library time in person. Do not give it to the library captains.

We will check to make sure there are no broken parts when you return them in person.

If we find any damage you will be responsible for paying for the Playaway or Pop Up.

You will not check out any books until you have paid for the device.

We will send letters to your new school if you move and have not paid for the device. You will not check out at your new school.
