Books and magazines may be checked out for 10 school days. Books may be exchanged during regularly scheduled weekly classes, or during independent check-out times in the library. Books may be renewed as needed unless another student is awaiting use of the material.

Parents may establish a library account and check out materials to read to or with their children at home. In addition, a small selection of parenting books is available in our Parent Resource Collection.

Some parents or guardians may consider some materials in any given collection objectionable for their children. To address this concern, parents have the opportunity to provide an author or title - specific restriction message to their individual student's teacher and librarian for entry into the computerized check-out system. If the system is used to check out any book, a "note" marker comes up on the screen. This cannot guarantee that a book will not be taken out, but a good faith effort will be made to comply with parental wishes. If you wish to place a restraint on certain books, please drop me a note via e-mail, or through your classroom teacher.

If a child has an item that is overdue, she/he will not be allowed to check out any library materials until the item is returned or the fine is cleared. ASD policy mandates a replacement fee for lost books of $7 for paperbacks and $20 for hardback books.
