Library Policies

Students can check out or renew books as long as their records are free of fines and overdue books.

Loan Periods:

• Kindergarten -1 book for 1 week (check out begins in October)
• 1^st Grade - 1 book for 1 week
• 2^nd Grade -2 books for 1 week
• 3^rd Grade - 3 books for 2 weeks
• 4^th Grade - 4 books for 2 weeks
• 5^th Grade - 4 books for 2 weeks

Books should be returned on the student's assigned library day, but they may be returned early. 

OVERDUE POLICY

Overdue notices are emailed to both parents and students weekly. This is the student's reminder that their book is overdue and needs to be returned. So please make sure we have your correct email address. Please reinforce the importance of responsible book return.

Unfortunately, students with overdue books aren’t able to check out until they bring their books back.

Students are not fined for late books, but they are responsible for lost or damaged library books.  Students will be fined the replacement cost of the book.
