Welcome to the Cox Library!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the Cox Elementary School Library! My name is Kelly Lopez, and I am the Library Media Technician dedicated to supporting and inspiring your students. I am thrilled to work with and see your children each week, making this job truly the most rewarding and exciting experience. The library motto is “Making Magic Happen”, and my top priority is to help your student discover and enjoy the magic of reading!

Library Policies
- Book Checkout:
- Kindergarten students may check out one book per week.
- Students in grades 1 through 5 may check out two books per week.
- Library Visits:
- Students will visit the library weekly. If a student forgets their book, they will not be allowed to check out a new one. Please remind your student to bring their books in their backpacks for Library Day.
- Book Renewals:
- Students in grades 2 through 5 may renew books for one additional week with teacher permission. Renewals may vary if students are working on book reports.
- Late Fees:
- There are no late fees; however, all classes participate in the Library Circulation Contest. If all students in a class return their books on time, the class is entered into the contest. This contest is a source of excitement and motivation for the students!
- Missing Books:
- If a book is not returned by the second week, a notice will be sent home. If the book is still not returned or replaced by the third week, a citation may be issued (for grades 2 through 5 only).
Book Requests
I am committed to ensuring our library has books that all students enjoy. I continuously seek to add new titles and welcome suggestions from students. During the school’s Book Fair, I often have “Wish Lists” available, and I am always excited to hear what students want added to the library. After all, this library belongs to them!
In Memory of Carter Ankeny
A new bookshelf has been added to the Cox School Library in memory of Carter Ankeny, honoring the generous donations made by Carter and those made in his name. We are grateful for this legacy and the magic it brings to our library.
