Student Expectations

Book Check-Out

Students may keep "everybody" and "non-fiction" books for one week and "fiction" books (chapter books) for up to three weeks. Students are expected to return library materials on time. There are no fines for overdue books, but the student may not check out any new materials until overdue items are returned or as a last resort.... paid for. Students may return books early and check out new materials during the school day (AFTER morning announcements please) and during their scheduled weekly media time. When a student checks out a book it is his/her responsibility to return the book in good condition. Fines will be charged for lost, damaged or stolen materials. Students may renew a book up to two times unless it is needed by another student or staff member.
