The library at Seguin Christian Academy serves the children and staff of the school, grades K-6. Over 4,000 titles of books and audio-visuals are available. Children in grades K-6 receive special library skills instruction each week. They may come to the library to check out books any time it is open.
Children use the Reading Counts Program in which they read books, take tests over those books, and are rewarded. Reading Counts books have a silver strip on the spine along with a number showing the number of points the student receives when he or she passes the test. READING CONTRACTSStudents have the opportunity to complete a reading contract in the library each quarter. The second through sixth must read and pass a computer test over a book by the author of the quarter for that grade. 3rd-6th must also pass a Crown book and a book that does not have a computer test. They also pass additional computer tests over books on their level in the library.

CROWN REED MEMORIAL PROGRAM
In Memory of Beth and Bill Reed
Beth and Bill Reed were members of First Baptist Church for many years. Beth was originally from Luling, Texas, and Bill from Mayfield, Kentucky. Bill was a highly-decorated Marine in WWII and used the GI Bill to go to college. God called him into the ministry and he and Beth met while they were working on their Master’s degrees at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. They were married November 1, 1952. Their daughter, Carol, was born in 1954 and their son, David, was born in 1957. When Carol and David were 6 and 4, respectively, Bill joined the U.S. Air Force as a chaplain. They lived and served at Chanute AFB, Illinois; Tachikawa AFB, Japan; Bergstrom AFB, Texas; Andrews AFB, Washington, D.C.; RAF High Wycombe and RAF Alconbury, England; Ellington AFB and Lackland AFB, Texas. Bill also did solo tours in Thailand and Vietnam. Bill died in 1982 and Beth died in 2002. Their daughter began sponsoring the Crown program in 2002 in their honor because Beth and Bill loved the Lord, children and education. Each year, books and tests are purchased and added to the collection. The Crown program focuses on children’s books that exemplify Christian character and values. For more information consult the program's website at www.childrenscrownaward.org. Children who read and pass at least five Crown books are eligible to attend the Crown Party in early May. 
Every week volunteers read to and teach children from K-6. Here Mrs. Raye is teaching first graders the Table of Contents. In addition she reads to them from our library. The children also have time during the week to come to the library to check out books. We are very fortunate to have volunteers who are retired school teachers teaching library skills.
