Checking out a book:

You may check out 3 books at a time

  • Books are checked out for 2 weeks (10 school days).

  • We DO NOT charge late fees, but, we will pester you relentlessly if your book is late.

  • If you have overdue books, we will not check out a new library book to you. Please return your books on time.

Holds: We will hold a book for you for 1 week if there is a reason why you can't check it out immediately.

Reserves: We will reserve a book for you if you let us know at the front desk.

Renewals: You may renew a checkout for 2 weeks if no one else has reserved it.

Lost books: If you lose a book and it comes back to the library, we will return it and shelve it for you.

    • If you tell us in advance that you lost it and it gets returned, we will hold it for you.

    • If a book cannot be found, you must pay for the book to be replaced.

    • Speak to Ms. Boox or Marina as soon as possible so we can work out an arrangement.
