LIBRARY POLICIES
Scheduling of Classes

 

All Kindergarten through Third Grade classes are scheduled to visit the library for thirty minutes each week.

Lessons and storytelling are conducted, and the students are allowed time to check out a book. Second and third graders are taught important research, reference, and study skills to help them become independent users of the library and well as independent learners.

Overdue fines are charged to students in grades 1 through 3. The amount charged is five cents per day, allowing a five day grace period. Fines for overdues are not assessed over holidays or days of absence.

Fines for damages are assessed as follows:
Torn or defaced page - $.10
Damage to spine or binding - $1.00
Wet book or food spilled in book - $3.00 to $5.00
Other - fine based on extent of damage and cost of book.

 

Lost Books

 

If a book is lost, the replacement cost of the book is charged. If the book is found, the payment is returned.

 

Library Hours

 

The library is open each school day from 8:00 a.m through 3:15 p.m. Students are allowed to use the library before school, during recess and lunch periods. Books may be exchanged on any school day, not solely on the student’s scheduled library class day.
