1. Kindergarten students will not check out books for the first 3 weeks of school. I want to teach them some library rules, procedures, and book care before they can check out books. I will send a letter home to parents when they begin checking out books.
2. Students in first grade can check out one book at a time. Students in grades 2-5 can check out two books at a time. When students in K-1 do AR, they can check out two books.
3. Students will be allowed to check out more than two books when they need to do research.
4. There is a designated area in the media center for Battle of the Books. This team is open to only 4th and 5th grade students. Students interested in being on the team will be the only students allowed to check these books until competition is over. Interested students will be asked to start reading the eighteen books on the list. There are AR tests for these books as well. They are also allowed to check out three books at one time as long as one of them is a Battle book.
5. We do not charge overdue fines but we do charge for lost or damaged books. Students with overdue books will not be allowed to check out any more books until their books are renewed or lost books are paid.
6. Teachers may check out as many books as they need.
7. I will send overdue notices to students at least once every couple of months.
