• General Library Information

    Library Hours: 8:40-2:55

    Library Schedule:

    Check with your teacher for your child's library day. Students are welcome to visit the library throughout the day, with a library pass from their classroom to check out books if they finish them before their library day. Library books should be returned the morning of your library day. 

    Returning Library Books: 

    Students may return library books daily, using the library book drop box located by the library. On library days, teachers will collect books and class helpers will bring books to the library before their scheduled library time, or students may bring their books with them to the library.

    Book Fair:

    Our library will host two book fairs every school year, one in the fall and one in the spring. Our fall date is scheduled for October 10th-18th and our spring dates are March 31- April 4.  Thank you for supporting the library so we may buy more books, host author visits and events, and purchase materials for our students and staff! 

    Book Care:

    ALWAYS place library books in the library plastic bag before putting them in your backpack. If the ziplock stops working, and you can't seal the bag, or if the bag is lost, ask Ms. Butkovich or Ms. Brown for a new one.

    Library Policy for Damaged Books:

    →Water Damage: Books with water damage must be disposed of and replaced. Students are charged the full replacement cost.

    →Other Damage: Students returning books with significant damage are also charged the full replacement cost.

    Why are library books so expensive? Our books have Library Binding and processing. This binding makes our books so durable that they can handle the wear and tear of multiple users. Also, we must pay our vendors for the book processing--the labeling, barcodes, etc. This is why we can't accept a book purchased from a parent to replace a damaged book.

    Pay 'N Go Information:

    For the 2024-2025 School Year, payment for lost or damaged books and ID badges is through Pay 'N Go. The Library Can Not Accept Cash or Checks. All payments must be made via Pay 'N Go.
