We understand that accidents happen. If a library book becomes damaged, we ask 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 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.
Replacement copies of books are not generally accepted, as your payment allows the librarian to repurchase a library-bound copy that can withstand the rigorous demands of library circulation as well as the needed computer records.
Acceptable forms of payment for lost or damaged materials are as follows:
cash (exact, as change Is unable to be made)
check made payable to Mason Library (please Include driver's license and phone numbers per district policy)
online with credit card via MySchoolBucks (also used for school lunch account payments)
If you have any questions regarding the above information, please reach out to the Mason librarian at stephanie.beasley@leanderisd.org
Per 22/23 Student Handbook Updates, the following change was made regarding inter-library loan requests (ILLs):
Students may request to borrow materials from any library in Leander ISD so long as the library matches the same grade level or lower. (Ex: elementary student borrowing from another elementary library or middle school student borrowing from another middle school library or an elementary school library) Should a student want to borrow from a grade level span higher than the current grade span assigned, parent permission would be required via a digitally signed form.
All ILL requests are made through the student’s home campus librarian, and all items will be checked out and returned through the student’s home campus library. ILL items may only be renewed once and lending libraries may deny renewals for high-demand items. Students who fail to return interlibrary loan items on time may have ILL privileges restricted or denied.
Parents, give permission for your child to request material from a middle or high school district library by filling out this form.
