As a whole school, we have three basic expectations: Be Safe, Be Kind, and Do Your Job. The chart below explains how these expectations apply to the LMC.
Checkouts
4K: 1 book limit
5K: 1 to start, then up to 3
Grades 1 -5: 3 to start, then up to 5 books if needed for research
*Only checkout the number of books that can be kept track of and used within the checkout time period.
Students who habitually forget their books should keep them at school at all times so they can easily be returned when due or have a one book limit.
Due Dates
It is preferred that all books are considered due each week. To keep circulation of all materials moving, items will be due after 21 days. Books that require extended time may be renewed if the book is brought to the LMC for renewal. Popular series books and titles cannot be renewed as the demand is too great.
Lost and Damaged Books
Fines for lost books will be collected at the end of the year. All books not returned at the end of the school year will be marked lost. Students are charged replacement costs for items that are lost or damaged beyond repair. Any repair needs should be brought into the library. We have special book repair supplies and will repair all library materials free of charge. If you have financial concerns, please notify Mrs. Klatt.
