Policies

Policies

*Students in grades K-2 may take home one book from the library each week.  Students in 3rd-5th grade may take 2. (Some exceptions are made to this policy for assignments like special research projects in school.) 

*Students are expected to return books on library day in order to get a new book during class.  However, all students "shop" for new books on library day and get a chance to read these books during class.

 *Students who have forgotten books at home keep their new choices from class on the Save Shelf in the library (a special shelf where I keep the books reserved just for them) until they remember to bring their old books in for "a Switcheroo" to swap old for new.  This switch need not happen on library day.

*Students may swap books at anytime I am available to do so should they wish to have a fresh library book.

*I do not charge money to replace lost books. Life happens. I do ask families to have an adult let me know in writing if books are lost so I can reset student accounts.

*Students who lose multiple books may be asked to keep library books in class to avoid the stress and expense of lost books.

*Damaged books should be sent to school with a note, and I will repair the book if possible.  I have special tape and materials to do that.  If not, I will reorder.  Again, life happens. 

*Third, fourth, and fifth graders have access to some more advanced materials than other grades.  Students in lower grades may also have access with written parent consent.
