Students can check out up to 3 books at a time. There are no late fees, but we will not allow students to check out books if they have overdue materials.
We have made it easier for students to get books. We were the first middle school in the county to get rid of late fees. We also were the first to up checkouts to 3 books at a time. We also have a cart of free books in the MC at all times so every student can walk away with a book. Also, upon request, we will give any teacher a collection of books to keep in their rooms. We will not ask for them back.
