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:
All students may check-out two books at a time. If students are working on a school project, the amount of books allowed out may be adjusted.
All books are checked out to students for 10 school days, though they can be renewed on/prior to due date if students need additional time. If the student is out of school, they will be due upon the student's next school day.
LATE BOOKS:
A late fee of $0.05 is charged for each day each book is not turned in after the due date. Once the book is turned in, late fees stop accruing even if the late fee is not paid at the time, but the student will not be able to check-out another book until the late fee is paid.
LOST OR DAMAGED MATERIALS:
If a book has been out excessively long, it will be declared lost. Students will not be able to check-out another book until the lost book is either returned or paid for. 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.
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. Students will not be able to check-out another book until the damaged book is paid for.
Please DO NOT attempt to replace a lost book yourself. The majority of our hardback books are library bound. This means they are special 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.
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.
