A library is an essential component in supporting our instructional programs

Classes visit the library once a week for a 45-minute library period. Students select and checkout library books and participate in a variety of lessons designed to encourage students to become enthusiastic readers and proficient researchers as students learn to use a variety of print and online resources.

Chesterfield County Public Schools is at the forefront of ensuring that parents and guardians have transparency about school library books. Here are three opportunities for parents:

  • Parents can access their student’s school library account by clicking the library catalog button on this page. 
  • Parents may opt in to receive an email when their student checks out a book by clicking the checkout notification button on this page. The email will include title, checkout date and due date. 
  • Parents can create a list of books that their student will not be allowed to check out by taking these steps:
    • Look up your public access catalog login ID by going to ParentVUE using a web browser on a computer or mobile device (not using the mobile app). In ParentVUE, go to My Account to find Adult ID#. (Contact your school if you need help accessing your ParentVUE account.) Your public access catalog login ID is your ParentVUE adult ID number with G added to the front. For example, if your ParentVUE adult ID number is 123456, then G123456 is your public access catalog ID. 
    • Please choose your student’s school library catalog link on the right.
    • Click My Account on the right side of the screen.
    • You will be prompted for a library card number and PIN. Your library card number is your ParentVUE ID number with G added to the front. Your PIN is the last four digits of your ParentVUE ID number. 
    • Add books you do not want your student to be able to check out to a prohibited resource list. This document provides details about how to build a prohibited resource list for your student.
