Borrowing (Loan) Period/Holds/Overdues/Lost or Damaged Books
Students may borrow each book for up to three weeks. If the student hasn't finished reading it, it may be renewed (i.e., borrowed again) once.
Up to two holds (i.e., claiming a spot on the waitlist for a book) may be placed at any given time during the school year.
Fines aren't charged for overdue (i.e., late) book returns. Replacement fines are charged for lost or damaged books.
If a student needs to pay for a damaged or lost book, pay via the School Cash Online system. When it asks for whom are you paying, uncheck the box labeled Myself and type in the name of your child in the text box. To determine how much to pay, have your child open Destiny Discover in the WakeID portal. Once it opens, have him/her/they select Back Office.
Checkout Limits
Each student may checkout up to 5 books at a time. There are exceptions.
-If a student has one overdue MPMS library book, he/she/they may only checkout one more book until the overdue book is returned.
-If a student has more than one overdue MPMS library book, the student must reduce the number of overdues to one or none in order to checkout books again.
The MPMS Library is happy to work with students in extenuating circumstances on a case by case basis.
