Lending Guidelines:

Students have two weeks from the time of checkout to report any concerns about their books to library staff.


Library staff review all items before distribution and upon check-in.


In most cases, students will return books to their teachers who will check them off of a class list.  Students who return their books directly to the library should ask for a confirmation of return.


Items received with a damage beyond repair will be issued a fine. Liquid damages require the replacement of the item up to the full cost of the book.


Students are responsible for the replacement cost of lost books as reflected on their library statements.


Parents/Guardians will receive monthly library account statements. 


Students will receive monthly, weekly, and daily end-of-the-year library account statements.
