Library Policy

Students are encouraged to borrow books regularly, both for recreational reading and subject needs.  Reference books (encyclopedia, etc.) and audiovisual materials are to be used in the school only.  Books must be returned or renewed after the two-week loan period.  The first overdue reminders are issued to the classroom.  When a book is two weeks or more overdue, a notice is sent home asking for its return.  If the book cannot be found, payment is requested to partially cover the cost of replacing lost books ($8.00 for paperbacks and $15.00 for hard cover books).  Receipts are issued, and should the book be found, a refund is made.  Any books misplaced within the school are located during a thorough inventory that is done each June.
