Lost and Damaged Books Policies
If a library book is lost or damaged beyond repair (including water damage), families are expected to pay for the replacement cost of the book. We will provide a receipt of payment.
Per District policy, books purchased new or used from another source will NOT be accepted in lieu of fines.
If a fine is paid for lost material and that material is returned in its original condition within 90 days and in the same school fiscal year in which the fine was paid, the student or parent may request a refund. For more information from the district please click here.
Students with lost or overdue books are not permitted to check out until the book has been returned or the fine has been paid.
Parents can pay the fines on MySchoolBucks
