Library Schedule for 2007-2008

Weekly library classes will be conducted for grades K-6 and will last 30 minutes.  Teachers may sign up for extra library time (FLEX) as needed for research, book exchange, etc.   All students have the opportunity to come to the library each day  to exchange books.  Please encourage your child to visit the library often.
 

Policies and Procedures

An "open door" policy allows students and teachers to use the media center as needs occur.  The combination of flexible scheduling, fixed scheduling, and open access provides students and faculty the opportunities to use the center's resources. Kindergarten students are allowed to check out 1 book at a time which cannot be taken home.  First grade students are allowed to check out 2 books at a time and can take them home each night. Students in second through sixth grades may check out 3 books at a time which can be taken home.
 

We do not charge a fine for late books, but no other materials may be checked out until the late book is returned.  Overdue notices will be sent home once a month in the student's Wednesday folders.  Lost or damaged library books must be paid for before students can check out any more items.  Students who do not return their library materials on time may have their progress reports or report cards held until items are returned or paid for.  Students who have lost or damaged books which are not returned or paid for at the end of the school year will not receive their report card on the last day of school.  Additionally, a transfer within the system or to another system will not be approved.
