Our mission is to provide an inviting, dynamic learning environment and services that empowers teaching, prompts curiosity, promotes literacy, and enriches our district’s curriculum.
We aspire for our students to be critical thinkers, lifelong learners, ethical users of information and enthusiastic readers.

CHECK-OUT:
1. Grades 2-5 may check-out two books at a time when they attend library class as part of their 6 day "KNIGHT" rotation. These may be exchanged throughout the week if they attend "open" library time. It is our philosophy that students should be able to pick books that interest them as well as ones that they use for our reading program. If students are working on a school project, the amount of books allowed out may be adjusted.
2. Grades K-1 may check-out one book at a time when they attend library class. These may be exchanged throughout the week if they come to "open" library time. Kindergarten will begin check-out to home following fall break.
3. All students may come to open check-out when the sign on the door says OPEN. Please be aware that some days we may close if Ms. Moorefield and Ms. Andrea are both out of the library.
4. All books are checked out to students for 10 days, though they can be renewed if students need additional time. Days out of school do not count in the 10 days.
LOST OR DAMAGED MATERIALS:
1. If a book has been overdue for more than 30 days, it will be declared lost. Students will not be able to check out another library-bound book until the lost book is either returned or paid for. If it is the student's first charge they may be allowed to check out paperback books until the charge is paid or lost book is returned. If a book is paid for, and then found within the same school year in good condition, the money will be refunded to the parent per signed request. Any books damaged by water, coloring, food, extremely ripped pages, dog/animal bites, etc... will be the responsibility of the student's parents to pay for. We ask that you pay with a check or exact cash.
2. Please DO NOT attempt to replace a lost book yourself. The majority of our hardback books are library bound. This means they are specially ordered with more durable covers for multi-use check-outs. Books bought from Amazon and other discount retailers often do not offer library-bound editions and do not come processed for the library. These books are for home use only, and will not withstand the multiple check-outs that our students will put them through. Our books are also ordered pre-processed. This means they come with our library barcodes attached as well as spine labels and library records; this is an additional cost for us but allows us to get books onto the shelves faster for our patrons.
***All students have been provided training in the care and maintenance of books, and they should be responsible for keeping them in good condition while in their home. While we understand that accidents will happen, we must have the funding to replace books that are lost or damaged. If we did not do this, we would be unable to maintain our library on the funding provided.
