The elementary school has a permanent library collection that provides a wide selection of books, magazines and reference books for all grades and reading levels, as well as computer software and videos. Students have a scheduled library class every six days, during which they receive instruction in the use of the library and its materials.
 
 

Loan Policy
Students borrow books during their scheduled library classes, however, books can be returned as soon as students have finished reading them. Books are loaned to students for one six-day rotation. Books signed out during library classes one week, for example, would be due no later than 8:30 a.m. on the morning of library class the following week. Returning books by 8:30 a.m. allows library staff to complete book check in and generate an overdue list before the start of library classes at 9 a.m. Books not returned to the library by 8:30 a.m. on the morning of their library class will be considered overdue.

Reference books, videos and computer software cannot be checked out to students or parents. However, access to encyclopedias, magazine articles and other research tools are available online 24 hours a day through online resources available on the elementary school library web page.

Students in grades 1-5 may check out up to two books at a time. Kindergarten students may check out one book.

Overdue/Lost Book Policy
There are no fines for overdue library books, however, students who do not return their book(s) on the date it is due will not be allowed to borrow additional books until their next library class. Students who have library materials that are overdue for more than one month will receive a notice from their classroom teacher. Parents and guardians will be billed for books that are not returned by the last loan date in May. If an overdue charge is still outstanding at the start of school in September, students will have their library loan privileges suspended until the fee has been settled. Students will be billed for damaged or lost materials.
