Bastrop ISD offers a wide selection of library materials to support student learning, catering to different reading levels, diverse interests, and a variety of viewpoints. While students are encouraged to independently choose their own library materials as part of their literacy development, parents and guardians are the primary decision-makers regarding their child's access to these materials.

The District provides a publicly accessible online catalog for each school library, allowing parents to see the available print books.

• Parents can request that their child return or exchange a library book on any school day, at a time approved by the teacher or school.
• Each student has a personal library account, and parents can ask their child to log in at any time to check what books they currently have checked out.
• Parents can use the catalog to create a list of approved titles, series, or subjects. Students can bring this list to school, and librarians are available to assist them in finding the books.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to communicate with the campus librarian about any specific preferences or restrictions regarding the materials their child selects.
