Library Orientation and Library Check Out

Last week we checked out over 1,000 library books. All BMS students visited the library with their Language Arts teachers. Students may check out up to 3 books for 2 weeks. Books may be renewed one time. After that, the book must be returned. Any books not returned will be considered lost and a book replacement fee will be charged. Visit our BMS Library website for more information.  Please help students remember to keep track of library books and to return them in a timely manner. 

Weekly emails are sent to students reminding them of overdue books. Students are able to check on the status of their library accounts by logging into Destiny Discover with their Richland 2 Google account information. Please contact BMS Media Specialist Mrs. Swetnam if you have any questions.  

Read Your Way to the Big Game

Blythewood Middle is participating in the Read Your Way to the Big Game reading program sponsored by the SC Department of Education.  All pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students who read six books will qualify to win tickets to the Clemson vs. South Carolina game on November 24. Once students have completed their readings, they should turn in the list of books read to their teacher. Winners will receive four tickets and pre-game sideline passes to the Clemson vs. South Carolina game. Completed reading logs are to be returned by November 8th to the library.
