When I was in elementary school, we had one library, but we were limited from K-3 to the "little kids" books, and we could only check out chapter books once we reached 4th grade (wow... now that I think about it, that would have been a DISASTER for both of my kids, and may help explain the lousy education system in my home town...). I was itching for chapter books by the end of first grade. I reached a compromise with the librarian that I could go to library during recess once a week to check out books from the big kids section. Don't recall that my parents even got involved... just saying that maybe your D could ask for an arrangement where she does something like this, goes at recess time once a week and is also allowed to check out fiction. Since it is K-12, maybe the librarians could also just have to okay what she checks out for appropriateness.
