Library Policies

All library book checkouts are completely confidential. Your library record is not shared with parents, teachers, or counselors without your permission.

Books will be checked out to students for 21 days. There are no overdue fines or penalties for late returns, as long as you return it before the end of the school year. If there is a hold on a book (another student would like to check it out), Ms. Vander Heide will email you and ask that you return it within one week. Ebooks and audiobooks automatically return themselves after 2 weeks.

Lost books. You will be charged the amount needed to replace the book. Alternatively, you can buy a replacement copy yourself. Used books are acceptable as long as they are in like new condition.

No eating is allowed in the library, but you can have drinks with lids.
