Media Center
We have the BEST readers here at Germantown Elementary! 
Book Checkout
Students will begin the year checking out 1-3 books, depending on their grade. Each week that they return all of their books, they get a star on their card. As they show their responsibility, they can check out more books. The books are checked out for 2 weeks but they can return them every week.
Overdue Books
There are no fines or penalties for overdue books, but if students cannot get more books if they have overdue books.
Lost or Damaged Books
Our priority is to have to books available for the students. Lost or damaged books can be paid for. Purchasing a used replacement is also acceptable. We just ask that picture books are hardcover.
Supporting our Library
Support from several grants and community organizations have helped us create a welcoming environment with books that students love to read. Since August 2022, we have added 3,179 books. Our entire collection is 6,444 books!
- Jan Stauber-Sherlock Holmes grant provided us with two 30 book beginning chapter book series of Sherlock Holmes tales
- Montgomery County Public Schools Educational Foundation awarded us $1500 to purchase over 100 chapter books and graphic novels in Spanish. They also gave us $750 in 2024 to purchase new nonfiction to support our CKLA curriculum.
- Mrs. Henriquez won $1500 from FirstBook Marketplace at the grand opening of the Ross in Germantown. That provided every student with a new book last winter and over 200 new books to our library collection.
- During every book fair, our PTA donates books new, high interest books to us as well as providing gift certificates to some students to make purchases,
