Books are checked out for a two week period. Students may renew a book or magazine if it is not on hold for another student.

Students who need to check out more books for a classroom assignment may exceed their limit of checkouts with permission.

Students with overdue books may not check out any more books until the item(s) have been returned or paid for.  Items that are damaged or lost will be assessed a replacement fee.

Students who have outstanding items at the end of the year will not receive their report cards until the item(s) has been returned or paid for.  If a family pays for a lost item and then the item is returned we will refund the payment, as long as it takes place during the same school year.  Our yearly budgets are closed at the end of June.

Any student who has a question about an overdue book is encouraged to check with the Library staff right away. In an attempt to save paper, we do not regularly send home paper overdue notices.  Students are told verbally during each library class which books are overdue.

Library materials should be returned to their classroom baskets, which are brought to the library by student classroom helpers. Students do not need to wait until their Library class day to return materials. Students may also return their books directly to the library during their recess.

Students may come to the library to check out books during their recess, as long as the library is open. Students are encouraged to come to the library to find books, work on assignments, use the computers and read quietly during any recess.

We suggest that your child have a designated place at home for keeping track of Library books. The ability to select and return Library materials is a lifelong skill, and your child’s responsibility!
