Library & Technology Resources
The media center has a wide variety of materials available to students and staff. The library houses more than 11,000 books both fiction and nonfiction. Our students become independent learners with our reading and technology goals, and develop teamwork and problem-solving skills through the Learning Commons program.

Class Visits
Each class has a 45 minute scheduled time weekly to receive library, technology, and engineering instructions, return books, and select new ones.
At this time, we are offering first through fifth grade students two books to check out per week. Our kindergarten students are able to check out one book per week.

Damaged Books
Please return damaged books to the library for repair. They will be assessed as to the severity of the damage by the Library Media Specialist. Books that are deemed damaged beyond repair must be replaced. A damage bill with replacement costs will be sent home. Please note that should a page accidentally rip, please return your book to the library and we will repair the page with special tape. Checkout privileges are suspended until arrangements are made between parents and library staff to take care of damaged book fees.

Lost Books
Books that have not surfaced in 30 days are presumed to be lost. An overdue bill with the cost of replacing the book will be sent home. Checkout privileges are suspended until arrangements are made to remit payment for the lost book/s. If a lost book is found within the same year, you may return it to the library and our school bookkeeper will issue a refund check. If a lost book is found during another school year, unfortunately, we are unable to issue a refund, however, the book is yours to keep.

Overdue Books
There is not a fine for overdue books, however, if a student has an overdue book, checkout privileges are suspended until the book is returned.
-
Open Check-Out
With teacher permission, individual students may come throughout the day for “open check-out" as long as the Media Center is open.
