Students check out materials for a 2 week period. Kindergarten students may check out one book at a time. This number for kindergarten students may increase as the year goes on. Students in first through fifth grade may check out two books at a time. Students are encourage to checkout at least one book that is at his/her reading level along with another book that is of interest, are for reading to younger siblings or to be read with an adult’s assistance. All students may request and renew items as needed as long as another student(s) are not waiting on the same title.

Each student is asked to check out their own books. They are not given library cards to care for. Instead, students use a printed barcode that is personal to them. Each checkout computer has a book with each students' barcode. They are asked to follow a 3 step process to check out books from the LMC correctly. This process has eliminated the need to give each student a library card.
