** The Mission of the Library Media Center is be a welcoming place where students learn to: **
 * love literature
 * use the many information sources available to them, and
 * use media to help them understand their world.

 ** How do I contact the Library? **

 * By email at plff@gmail.com
 * By mail at 22 Pok Fu Lam Road
 * By phone at 2822-7799

** When do students visit the Library? **
 * The PLFF is open Monday through Friday, 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students are welcome in the library during these hours.
 * Grade 4 spends 30 minutes in the library each week to participate in an information literacy lesson and to check out books.
 * Grades 5 & 6 visit the library on a weekly basis for checkout only. As needed and in response to the needs of the classroom teachers and their students, additional blocks of time are scheduled to work on information and/or research skills tied to their curriculum.

 **How many books can I check out?**

 * All students may check out books, periodicals, books on tape, and books on CD from the library. Staff may check out books, videos, DVDs and periodicals.
 * Students in grade 4-6 borrow up to five books at a time.
 * Parents may borrow up to 25 books with the Parent Library Card. If you don't already have a card apply now.

 * <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Lost books must be paid for in order to clear student records and allow them to check out another book. Students will be asked to send money for lost and damaged items depending on the repair or replacement cost. Cash or checks made out to "PLFF Elementary School" are accepted for payment. If a book is found before the end of the school year, your money will be refunded.
 * <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">If a student has overdue materials, his or her borrowing privileges will be suspended until the overdue materials are returned. Students do not need to wait until their "library day" to check out books.
