Library FAQ

I lost a book, what do I do?

Students should let their librarian know they have lost their book.  

There are 3 ways to clear your account:

1. Replace the book with a new, hardcover copy. Send the replacement book with your student’s name and teacher’s name. 

2. Check made out to Canyon Creek Elementary and turned in the Main Office.

3. Pay the fine online. https://wa-northshore.intouchreceipting.com/  Contact Terri Jaenson in the Canyon Creek office at tjaenson@nsd.org with any payment questions.

How can I put a book on hold?

A book can only be placed on hold if it is currently checked out. To place a hold, fill out a pink hold request slip in the library, or place holds yourself by accessing the library catalog through Clever (students may place their own holds when they are “logged in” to the library catalog). 

How many books can I check out at a time?

Kindergarten = 1 book

1st Grade = 2 books

2nd Grade = 3 books

3rd Grade = 4 books

4th Grade = 5 books

5th Grade = 5 books

How long can I keep a book?

Books are checked out for two weeks at a time. A book can be renewed for an additional two weeks as long as someone else doesn't have the book on hold.

Can I use the library computers?

The library computers are to be used for online catalog searches or teacher assigned research and projects.

Can I bring food or drinks into the library?

We ask that no food or drinks be brought into the library for the safety of all of the books, resources, and computers.
