Does your child read the library books they bring home from school?

DD is in year 3 and I had noticed that she doesnt read the book they get from the school library, although she does tend to read the other book, the one she has to read to me all the way through before reading it to me.
I have just put the book bedside her bed and im hoping it might get read now...I am a book worm, I dont understand how she can leave a book unread!!!!!

I'm afraid they don't have a choice and it gets read whether they like it or not. I must say though if they really don't want to i will read it for them ( the library books not the work ones)

I tend to be fairly chilled about this (now - after a discussion on here a few years back). IME children often get very little time at school to select their library book, and so may have picked up something in appropriate. My boys read loads anyway, but I don't want them to have the attitude that once they start a book they have to finish it, even if they don't fancy it at the time.

Not usually. DS1 often picks a very simple picture book and may glance at it, but he doesn't really seem to choose things he wants to read at the school library. I just let him get on with what he's reading anyway.

Yes, my children love books, aswell as the school library books they also get 4 books out of the public Library atleast twice a week.
