Library Policies and Procedures

Here are a few guidelines for students regarding book care and responsibility:

  • Students are responsible for handling library books with care, since they are for everyone to share.
  • Please keep books away from pets, food, all writing and coloring material, and all liquids.
  • Any book damage should be reported to the library as soon as possible so we can attempt repairs.
  • Library books may be kept for one week, then must be returned. A book may be renewed (2nd-5th grade only) if the student is not finished reading it. If a student does not return their book, they may not borrow another book until the overdue book is returned.
  • If a book is lost or damaged, payment toward a replacement will be requested from the parents.
