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. Students may check out up to 3 books at a time. They must have a pass from their teacher to come to the library.
2. Students will visit the library with their Reading Language Arts teacher on a 3-week rotation.
3. All Students will enter the library quietly and be respectful of others who might be testing or using items.
LOST OR DAMAGED MATERIALS:
If a book has been out for an excessively long time, 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 in good condition within the same school year, the money will be refunded to the parent.
It will be the responsibility of the student's parents to pay for any books damaged by water, coloring, food, ripped pages, dog/animal bites, etc.
We kindly request that you pay with exact change, a money order, or a check (checks will only be accepted until April 15th of each school year).
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 checkouts. 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 ordered books are also 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 it allows us to get books onto the shelves faster for our patrons.
***All students are responsible for keeping books in good condition when they check them out of the library. While we understand that accidents 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.
