Media Center Policies

Checking Out Books

• Library books may be checked out and taken home for a one-week period. After one week, the book(s) may be renewed for another one-week period. Students may check out books as follows:
   
  • Kindergarten and Grade 1: 1 book
  • Grades 2-5: 2 books
    
     

Overdue Books

• Books which are not returned after one week are considered overdue.
   
• If a student has an overdue book, he/she may not check out another book until the overdue book is returned.
• We do not charge overdue fines in elementary school.
   

Lost or Damaged Books

• Students are encouraged to be responsible in caring for books; however, if a book is lost or damaged to the point where it cannot be circulated, parents are notified of the cost of the book.
   
• When payment is made for a lost or damaged book, the student may again check out books from the Media Center.
   
• Should the book be found within 1 month from the payment date, it may be returned to the Media Center and the payment will be refunded.
  • *This applies to the school year only. If a book is returned after the school year has ended, a refund cannot be issued.
