Valerius Library Policies for Students
Students have two checkout times per eight-day cycle (every four school days) and a 40-min. library class once per eight-day cycle.
Student Checkouts (at a time)
Kindergarten - 1 book
1st-2nd - 2 books
3rd-5th - 3 books
Renewals and Holds
Students may renew items during their library time as long as the items are not on hold for someone else.
Students can place a hold request during library time if a book they want is already checked out.
Lost or Damaged Materials
The Teacher Librarian makes every effort to help locate or repair damage to library items, but items that are lost or beyond repair will need to be paid for by the student/family.

Valerius Library Policies for Staff
Daily Open Library Times 2025-26
Teachers can send students to the library with a green library pass at these open times:
8:50-9:05
2:00-2:40
Times are subject to change if Mrs. Small is unavailable.
If students see the red closed sign on the library door, they should return to class.
Staff Checkouts
Three ways to access materials/collaborate with the library:
1. Search our library catalog here (or use one of two catalog search computers in the library) to find what you need at any time. Sign materials out using the staff checkout pad on the library desk.
2. Complete this quick Staff Book Request/Collaboration Form
3. Send an email to smalla1@urbandalschools.com
If you are not able to find a book in our library catalog, please let me know & I can check another library in our district for you.
There is no limit on the number of staff checkouts.
