Kindergarten - 1 book that stays in the classroom
1st grade - 1 book that can go home starting in October
Upper grades can take home as many books as their grade level:
2nd grade - 2 books
3rd grade - 3 books
4th grade - 4 books
5th grade - 5 books
Students can keep books for 2 weeks, but are encouraged to bring them back weekly and get new books!
Books are returned to the library during weekly class times or open times.
Books can be renewed if students need more time to read them, unless a book is on hold for another student.
Students can request a hold on a checked-out book so it can be put aside for them when it's returned.
During the school year, students and families may receive emails about book due dates or overdue books. These are sent by PPS Libraries' automated system as a courtesy reminder.
Any questions about these emails can be directed to Mrs. Juska at mjuska@pps.net.
PPS Libraries do not charge late fees for overdue books. Fees are only charged if a book is damaged beyond repair. The replacement cost will be posted in School Pay.
Please contact Mrs. Juska if you have any questions or need assistance with fees.
