At Goshen Post Elementary, all kindergarten-5th grade classes are scheduled for a 50 minute weekly library time for book check out and instructional lessons.
Kindergarten students may check out one book at a time and have a total of 2 books checked out on their account.
First Grade Students in the First quarter, may check out one book at a time and have a total of 2 books checked out on their account. Starting second quarter, first grade students may check out up to two books at a time and have a total of 2 books checked out on their account. First grade parents may fill out a book request form to receive an additional 2 books that will be checked out and delivered to the student for a total of 4 books checked out on the student's account.
Second through fifth grade students may check out up to two books at a time and have a total of 4 books checked out on their account.
Library books will be collected as a whole class each week, but check out can occur during our morning open check out times if the student brings their library book back to the library before then.
Books are checked out for a three week period, but can be renewed after that for an additional 2 weeks. We want all students to have access to as much reading material as possible and to enjoy our growing Goshen Post library resources. Overdue notices will be emailed on a regular basis. Notification of replacement cost will be sent home for materials that are claimed to be lost or damaged beyond repair. Money paid for damaged or lost materials will be deposited in the Lost/Damaged Library Book Account. A replacement copy will be purchased. If the exact book is no longer in print, a similar book will be purchased. If a lost book is found after payment is made, a refund can only be given if a replacement book has not yet been purchased. Payments for lost books can be made by contacting Christina.Unger@lcps.org.
