Library Use
Whole classes come to the library when they need to do research or for library lessons and stories. Students may also visit the library to check out materials on an as-needed basis with teacher permission as they finish their reading materials.
TES Library Online Catalog
You can access the Library Catalog from home. Follow these steps:
1. Go to the Pflugerville School Library Catalog page.
2. Click on Timmerman Elementary, then the Catalog Tab.
You may then type in the Title, Author, or Subject you’re looking for. This search method leads you to titles in our collection as well as recommended websites for student research.
Checking a Student's Library Account Online
Students can check their library account to see what materials they have checked out, when materials are due, and if they owe fines by logging in when they access the TES library online.
Click the LOGIN button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Students will use their regular computer login. The "My Info" tab contains the library account.
Overdue and damaged books
There are no fines for overdue books but students cannot check out new materials until all overdues are returned. Fines will be charged for damaged and lost materials. Refunds can be issued for payments over $5 if the materials are found and returned in good condition within one year of the payment. Fines can be paid at the following link -Timmerman Library Fines.
To place a hold
Log into the Timmerman library catalog. You can get to it from ClassLink or from the student tab on the district or Timmerman website. Students use their regular computer login.
Search for a book you would like. Make sure it is ready to check out (1 of 1 available). Click on the title to read more about the book and click the Hold button.
