Checkout Policy

o One-week time limit on books checked out.
o If the book needs to be rechecked, the student must bring the book to the library to be rechecked.
o Students are allowed two books at a time either one AR and one Library book or two AR books.
o The responsibility of the care and return of library materials are placed upon the student.  Any damage, loss, or theft must be compensated to the school.  The student is expected to notify the librarian to make payment for the materials.  In case of natural disasters or house fires the library will set aside the need for compensation.
o Overdue slips will be sent out the beginning of each month.  Students will not be allowed to checkout any additional library materials until these are returned or rechecked.  Students will be rewarded for returning all their books on time each week at the end of each quarter.
o Magazines will be checked out to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders for one week.
