FAQs
When can I check out books?
You may check out books before school, during your scheduled class library time, and any open recess times. See the class schedule above if you do not recall your scheduled library time.
When and where do I return my library books?
Library loans are for 14 days. You can return your books during your class library time, or before/after school in the Book Home dropbox.
When can kindergarten students check out books?
The first half of the school year is used to teach kinder how to find, browse, and put back books. After Winter Break, kinder will be given a practice "book" that must be taken home and returned 3 times before they are allowed to check out ONE book from the library. From there they can check out one book at a time for the remainder of the year.
