    Returning library books:

    There are several ways to return your library books!

    A. We have a return cart outside the library where you may return your books on your way to class when you arrive in the morning or throughout the day. You don't even have to go inside the library! We check the cart throughout the day. It is located outside the library doors in the primary hallway.

    B. You may also return books inside the library by placing them in the book slot on the circulation desk.

    Book Fair: 

    Our library will host two book fairs every school year, one in the fall and one in the spring. 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! Our next Book Fair with Scholastic will be in October. More info is coming soon! 

    Book Care:

    ALWAYS place library books in the library plastic bag before putting them in backpacks. If the ziplock stops working and can't seal the bag, or if the bag is lost, ask Mrs. Schilling or Mrs. Poole 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, barcode, etc. This is why we can't accept a book purchased from a parent to replace a damaged book.

    For the 2024-2025 School Year, Payment for Birthday Book Club, Id Badges, and Lanyards Is Through Pay 'N Go. The Library Can Not Accept Cash or Checks. All Payments Must Be Made via Pay N Go.
