Library Policies

CIRCULATION PROCEDURES:

Books circulate for 3 weeks and must be returned or renewed at that time. Students can check out a maximum of 5 books at a time. All students must have a current Sheldon ID card or a valid California Driver’s License to check out library books and/or textbooks. Students with books that are two weeks beyond the overdue date may result in students being blocked from making any site purchases, including dance tickets. 

TEXTBOOK POLICY :

Please be advised that students are financially responsible for all textbooks and library books they check out from the library. This means that students must pay for all books that are lost or stolen from their possession. Students keep textbooks in their classrooms at their own risk. Many times a student gets a textbook mixed up with another classmate. When this happens, the student is still responsible for the book he/she checked out. If a student needs to pay for a book, payment plans can be arranged with the library. Call 681-7500 ext. 8088 if you have questions regarding the textbook policy.

FINES/DAMAGES TO LIBRARY MATERIAL:

Once a student has checked out a library book and/or a textbook, he/she is responsible for it. Students may be responsible for any damages not reported within 7 days of receiving their textbooks. They should report any damages to the librarian. A student will be fined for any new damages to the books according to the criteria below:

Minimal writing inside the book                                                             $5-$10

Graffiti and/or excessive writing                                                            $20-25

Minimal liquid damage to where the book is still usable                   $10-$15

Excessive liquid damage with no mold or mildew                           ½ the cost

Excessive liquid damage with mold or mildew                                   full price

Torn or missing barcodes                                                                           $5

Broken corners or spines                                                                          $10

* All other damages to be assessed and fined accordingly

Students will be required to pay the full price of any library book or textbook they have lost. If all library materials and/or textbooks are not returned by the last week of school, students will be billed for the full cost of the books. Students must either pay for the lost books or return them to the library before the next school year starts. If a book is found or returned after it has been paid for, a refund will be issued. Students also have the option to replace the lost textbook on Amazon.com or Half.com. If this is the option a student wishes to pursue, he/she MUST pick up a Lost Textbook Replacement Form from the library and get instructions from the staff on how to purchase the correct edition of the book. Incorrect editions will NOT be accepted.
