  • Spring semester - 3 books and 3 eBooks/digital audiobooks

1st - 5th grades

  • Sometimes students are allowed more books at teacher's request if for a long term project 

  • There may be restrictions based on popular, new, etc. books. Ex. Students may only check out 1 book of a certain popular series at a time.

Overdue Books

• Please return or renew as soon as possible

• Books can be renewed online or unseen once. To renew past that, the book must physically be brought into the library to renew

• We do not charge fines, but if the book is missing for an extended period of time, it will be assumed lost and must be paid for

Damaged Books

• Please do not attempt to repair books at home unless wet

• If wet, quickly separate  and spread out wet pages with paper towels to prevent mold. Books can also be gently dried with a hairdryer

• If a book has any mold or is otherwise damaged beyond repair (at the librarian's discretion), the student will need to pay for the book

• Please do not personally replace books without first discussing with the librarian. We generally do not accept paperback books, and we try to purchase the majority of our books from library book vendors under district contract.

Lost Books

• Lost books will need to be paid for by the student or guardian.  

• We will try to help find the book by checking the shelves, checking with the teacher, etc., however, if the books is not in the library, the student will be held responsible

• Places to check before considering the book lost:

  • All over the house (a picture of the book cover can usually be found on the students' library account - see first FAQ to learn how to access)

  • Cars

  • Friend's/parents/grandparents, etc. houses

  • Classroom - book box, ask around class, in the desk, in the teacher's classroom library

  • Shelf on the library - we have had books that didn't scan properly end up on the library shelves. We always check the shelves before charging a student for a lost book

• The student who checks the book out is responsible for the book. I tell students not to let friends borrow their books because if the friend loses it, the student who checked it out is still responsible. Hopefully, the friend who lost it will pay for it, but because we recommend against lending checked-out library books, the student who checked it out is ultimately responsible for the book
