Policies and Procedures

Book Checkout
  • All students checkout books once a week. Students may also visit the library when given permission by their teacher. The weekly schedule is posted on our website. 
Number of Checkouts per Grade Level:
  • Kindergarten- One book per week
  •  First Grade- One book per week
  • Second Grade- One book per week
  • Third Grade- One/Two books per week
  • Fourth Grade- One/Two books per week
*If the teacher requests that students be able to checkout more books then exceptions will be made, especially for school based projects/assignments.
*We also have a small collection available to parents for checkout, which is located in parent resource room.
Book Renewals
  • If a student checks out a book and doesn’t complete it within a week’s time then they may renew it twice. If the book is a current 2018-2019 Magnolia Children’s Book Award (MCBA) nominee then the book can only be renewed once in order to give all students a chance to read the nominees before voting. If the book is not renewed or returned then an overdue notice will be sent home.
Overdue Books
  • If the book is not returned then a notice will be sent home.  Please, return the book, so that other students can get a chance to read it.  Students will not be able to checkout another book until the overdue book has been returned.  If the book was returned and the notice was sent home in error then please contact me via email to resolve the situation.
Lost/Damaged Books
  • All lost or damaged books must be paid for if a student is to checkout another book. Once payment has been receive for the book a refund will not be given.
Putting Books on Hold
  • Students can put a book on hold if the student wishes to checkout a book that is already checked out by another student.


If you have any questions, please let me know. I’m happy to assist students, teachers and parents in selecting materials. Do not hesitate to visit the library, pull up a chair and relax with a good book!
