Lost & Damaged Library Material
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.
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.
