• Library Hours: 8:05AM-3:30PM

    Library Schedule:  Your child may visit the library to checkout/return their library books everyday during our Open Checkout time. Open Checkout is from 9:00AM-10:45AM and 12:30PM-3:00PM.  Teachers will send students to the library a few at a time to checkout new books during Open Checkout time. Your child will also come to the library for a 45 minute lesson every three weeks with their homeroom class. Check with your child's teacher to find out what day they come to the library for a lesson.

    Book Care:

    Please reinforce good book care at home to keep our books in good condition for many years to come.
    ALWAYS place library books in the library plastic bag before putting it in backpacks. If your child has lost their library book bag, they can receive a replacement bag for $1.00.

    Library Policy for Damaged Books:

    There will be charges to KISD students for the damage of our KDE library books. We will use the following guidelines when assessing fines:

    Writing on Page- pencil                                $.50 per page

      -Ink/Colors/Markers                                    $1.00 per page

    Excessive Writing (through entire book)       Cost of book                                                                   

    Water Damage (Any liquid)                           Cost of book

    Damage to Book Cover                                 $5.00

    Torn Page(s)                                                  $1.00 per page

    Food Marks on Pages                                   $1.00 per page

    Completely Damaged (Book cannot be put on shelves)      Cost of book

    Lost Book or Permanently Damaged Books                        Cost of book

    If a student has lost a library book or damaged a book beyond repair, the student will be asked to pay the replacement value of the book. Books with water damage must be disposed of and replaced. Students are charged the full replacement cost. Students returning books with significant damage are also charged the full replacement cost.

    We are sometimes asked why parents can’t purchase a replacement off of Amazon.com or from a local bookstore, where the prices are cheaper. The books that are bought for a KISD library are library bound quality, built for multiple circulations. The vendors also charge a fee for the processing and cataloging of the books, so that they are ready to put on the shelf upon arrival.

    If you pay for a lost library book and then find the book you may return it to the library and you will receive a refund check in the mail from Katy ISD.  It can take up to 6 weeks to receive your refund check.

    Pay'N Go Information: 

    If your child returns a KDE library book in damaged condition or has lost their library book, you will need to pay to replace the damaged/lost book. Please visit the Pay N Go app to pay the book fine.  You can go to https://tinyurl.com/3jme6758 (Links to an external site.) to pay the fine. If you have any questions, you can contact Mrs. Matovich at crystalamatovich@katyisd.org.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!
