Check-In / Check-Out Policy:
Students are scheduled to visit the library once a week for 30 minutes with
their reading class. However, they are welcome anytime! They may
check out three books each visit as long as two of the books are AR books on their
reading level. They are not required to check out any books, but are
encouraged to have at least one AR book to read during daily Sustained Silent
Reading (SSR) time.
Overdue Policy:
Books are overdue at the end of the school day one week after they have been
checked out. The library sends out weekly reminders to the students of the
books they have checked out / overdue. Students may still come to the
library and may check out books, depending on the number of books they still
have in their possession. After a book has been overdue for one month or
more, a letter is sent home so that the parent is aware of the overdue book(s).
By the end of the semester, books that are more than one month overdue need to
be paid for. If the book is found (and it usually is soon after it is paid
for!), the money is refunded. We encourage students to use the library and
we want students to check out books and read as much as possible, but we do
expect them to be responsible borrowers.
