All books have an automatic two-week checkout time, but can be renewed for more time.
Kindergarten students begin the year checking out one book at a time.
1st-5th grades may check out three books at a time.
Students can check out when their class visits during Specials time, or anytime their teacher allows them to visit the Library. The Library is always open!
All students are encouraged to take books home to read, but it is their choice what and when they check out.
Students and teachers may check out up to three digital books on Sora, our digital reading app. (This can be easily accessed through the student's Launchpad.
We understand that accidents happen. If a library book becomes damaged, we ask for students to report the damage so that we can repair it. Please do NOT attempt to repair the book at home.
If a book becomes damaged beyond use, we ask for the student to pay the replacement cost in order to purchase that book again for the library collection.
If a book is lost, we ask for the students to pay for the lost book; if the lost book is found and returned within the same school year, money will be refunded to the student.
Lost or damaged books can be paid for with cash (exact amount), check (include DL# and phone #), or on My School Bucks after alerting the Librarian you need to be charged for the book.
Our mission is to lead our school communities in an environment that challenges students to IMAGINE possibilities, EXPLORE opportunities, and CONNECT with the future and the world.
