Library Policies
Check Out Policy
Library books can be checked out for two weeks. A book may be returned early or be renewed twice if the book is not in demand.
There are no overdue charges for library books. However, if a student has an overdue book they will only be allowed to check out
one paperback book until the overdue book is returned. If the student has two overdue books they will not be allowed to check out.
Overdue notices will be sent to the classroom once a week. If the book is overdue more that two weeks, library staff will contact
the parent to determine if the book can be located and returned, or if payment arrangements or other means of restitution can be made.

in a learning activity.
- The second class to arrive will check in their books at the circulation desk and put their book
on the appropriate cart. They will then have about 15 minutes to check out a book. They should use shelf markers to mark the place on the shelf they have taken a book from until
they are sure they want to check out the book. They will then take the book to the circulation desk and provide the library assistant with their badge or badge number. After their book is checked out they will wait quietly until it is their turn in the
storytime area.
- The classes will then change places. The first class will then check in their books, put their books on the appropriate cart, and check out a book. They will also have 15 minutes to check out.
- Both classes will line up to be dismissed.
- Classes that are at the library for block will take a seat at the tables for a lesson.
