Information About Our Library Program
- Students attend library class once each week.
- The number of books students check out each week is dependent on their grade level (K: 1 book, First: 2 books, Second: 2 books, Third: 3 books, 2/3 Quest: 3 books, Fourth: 4 books, Fifth: 4 books, 4/5 Quest: 4 books)
- Students keep their books for 2 weeks before the books are considered overdue.
- If you think you have lost a library book, just keep looking for it! Books are almost never lost. They have just taken a vacation to somewhere like under a bed. Eventually, if you really cannot find the book, if you choose, you can send a replacement copy into the library. Replacement copies can be purchased from any bookseller. They do not need to be special library copies.
