Checkout Policies
The checkout period for students is one-two weeks.Â
Students are not assessed fines for overdue books. A book is considered lost if not returned after 30 days.

In cases of financial hardship, payment plans can be arranged.
Number of Books Students May Checkout
Pre-K -- Kindergarten: 1 book (Early September)

Lost or Damaged Books
Sometimes our books are damaged or lost. Students are expected to pay for the cost of these books to be repaired or replaced. Payment is preferred instead of replacement. Books are purchased from a library vendor and are library bound and processed for computer checkout. If a lost book is found within the school year of payment, a refund will be provided.
Book Care
Help your child learn to take proper care of their library books:
Select a safe place at home for library books away from young siblings and pets.
Keep water bottles inside a Ziploc plastic bag to prevent water damage.
Clean hands are best when reading!
Read either before or after eating and/or drinking.
Accelerated Reader
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer software program that helps monitor and track students’ reading progress.Â
Students read books within their reading level and when they are finished, they take a short quiz on the computer.
Each student in grades 2-5 is initially given a computer-generated test/screening called the STAR Test to determine his/her AR reading level. Â
Only students who score above average on DIBELS will be able to participate in Acclelerated Reader.
Students learn how to find books through a color-coded system used in the library.Â
Books for AR can come from various sources:Â school library, public library, the bookstore, home, etc.
Reading goals are generated each quarter from individual reading levels.
Students receive special recognition and incentives for meeting their personal AR goal.
