Library Policies

• The Library will be open for use during the hours school is in session.

• A student in second through sixth grade may check out two books at a time.  The Kindergarten and first grade students may check out only one book at a time.

• A book is due one week from the day it was checked out.  However, there will be a three day grace period in which a book can be returned without a fine.  A fine of five (.05) cents a day will be charged for each over due book retroactive from the day the book was due.  A student may bring in canned food to pay the fine for overdue books.  (The collected cans will be donated to the food bank.)

• A student may not check out another book from the library of he/she has an overdue book or an outstanding fine.  Once the overdue book is returned or the fine paid library privileges will be restored.

• If a book is reported lost, it will be tagged as such and a student may continue checking out books while they look for the lost book.  If after three months the book has not been found, the book must then be paid for.

• Students will not be allowed to check out books under a teacher's name.  We are loosing too many books.  If a student's account is frozen due to fines or overdue books they will need to read a book from their classroom libraries.  If a student is doing a report they will be allowed to check out the additional books they will need to get their projects done.
