ELEMENTARY LIBRARY POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

2006-2007

Mission

To enable students to become independent, information literate, life-long learners.

Services for Students

 All K-5 students have a scheduled library period once or twice a week (varies by building).  These times are scheduled with the librarian in advance. During library time, students may listen to a story, do research, checkout books and READ!!

Library Polices

• All library books should be brought to school on the day your child’s class is assigned to go to the library.  If further time/use is needed, books may be renewed for an additional week.

• Students with books that are two or more weeks overdue WILL NOT be allowed to borrow other books until the overdue items are returned or paid for.

• Students who replaced or paid for two or more books in one school year will have their library privileges suspended for three weeks.

• Once the book is taken out of the library it is the responsibility of the student to know where it is at all times. It is the student’s responsibility to care for the book and return the book on time.

Lost/Damaged Books

Replacement cost will be charged for lost or irreparably damaged books. Costs vary by book. A library notice will be sent home. Refunds will be issued for lost/paid books, until the semester end. For example, if a student pays for a lost book during the first semester, the student will have until the end of the first semester to find the book and return for a full refund. If a student pays for a lost book at the end of the year, they will have until the first week of the new school year to return the book to receive a refund. The librarians will make all necessary repairs to damaged books. Please do not attempt to glue or tape damaged books.
