    Library Use *on hold*

    Morning Library is open from 7:10 - 7:25 Tuesday through Friday. This is a time for checking out books and junior librarians. To enjoy games, computers, and robotics, ask for a pass in the cafeteria. Students should have breakfast at home or in the cafeteria before coming to the library.

    Whole classes come to the library when they need to do research or for library lessons and stories. Students may also visit the library to check out materials on an as needed basis with teacher permission as they finish their reading materials.

     

    Overdue and damaged books

    There are no fines for overdue books but students cannot check out new materials until until all overdues are returned. Fines will be charged for damaged and lost materials. Refunds can be issued for payments over $5 if the materials are found and returned in good condition within one year of the payment.
