What if I have an overdue book?

Students who have an overdue book will not be allowed to check out any additional books.  If a book is a month overdue, the status of the book will be changed to lost and the student will be asked to pay for the book.

What if a book is lost or damaged?

Damaged books must be returned, so we can determine if the book must be paid for.  The student will have to pay the cost of any lost book.  No books may be checked out until the fine is paid.

At what other times can I come into the library?

The library is usually open for individual students to check books in and out before school (8:45-8:55) and at all lunch recesses.  Until 2:30 each day, students may come to check books in and out if their teachers allow them to leave class.
