Book Check Out
All you need is your Student ID to check out books and materials.
Borrowing Rules for Students
You can borrow three books at a time. The loan period is three weeks. See the Cimarron Middle School Intellectual Freedom Pledge.
ALL students may borrow YA books. Families should make the decision if they feel their child is ready for these books that tend of have more mature content and language. If a student or family feels the book isn't a good fit yet, simply return it.
The following are the reasons you may not be able to check out materials:
you have lost or overdue books.
you have purposely damaged library materials.
your parent/guardian has requested that you not borrow from the library.
Renewals
Feel free to renew your book for two additional three-week loan periods unless the book has been requested by another student or is a high-demand item.
Please bring the book(s) to the teacher librarian, Mrs. Martin, to renew.
Overdue Books
Mrs. Martin will email overdue reports once a week to students and their parents/guardians.
Materials that are overdue more than 30 days will be marked "LOST" and a fee will be assessed through myschoobucks.com. If the book is returned within one year of the original check-out date, fees can be removed from the student's account.
Lost or Damaged Books
Damaged books should be brought to the teacher librarian for assessment and repair. Do not repair damaged books at home.
The replacement fee for library material lost or damaged will be the full retail value of the materials, as recorded in the library database, not to be less than $10.00. Fees can be paid for through myschoolbucks.com. The library does not accept replacement copies or donations in place of payment.
Payment for a lost book WILL NOT BE reimbursed should the book be found.
