• Library Handbook
    Library hours are 8:00AM - 3:00PM,  Monday through Friday.

    Under the direction of the Library Media Specialist and volunteer parents, our school library functions as an active, integral part of the educational program. Classrooms visit the Library Media Center once a week. Children learn age-appropriate library skills and are encouraged to check out books on a regular basis. Students will also utilize numerous computers for classroom projects and skill development.

    Children are welcome to return and check out books throughout the week. Parents are welcome to check out library materials as well. The number of materials that may be checked out varies by grade level:

    bullet

    Kindergarten and 1st Grade: 1 book for 1 week, 2 books for 1 week after winter break

    bullet

    Second Grade: 2 books for 2 weeks

    bullet

    Third, Fourth and Fifth Grades: 3 books for 2 weeks

    Reminders are sent to students with overdue books. Students who fail to turn in overdue books may lose borrowing privileges. If a book has been lost, parents may telephone the librarian to work out a plan for replacing the book. Borrowing privileges will usually be resumed at this time.

    Payment for most lost or damaged items is hardback books $20.00 or the cost of the book, whichever is greater; paperback books $10.00 or the cost of the book, whichever is greater. Parents should be warned that book costs are increasing and a growing number of nonfiction books in the collection cost between $20-$40. There will be a nominal charge for books that are damaged, but still serviceable. Lost books that are found will be eligible for refunds for 3 months and/or until the book has been replaced.
