We believe that encouraging students to read is of  
 utmost  importance.

   Each class will visit the library for a planned library period each week. Students will be given the opportunity to check out books at this time.  Only students with returned books will be allowed to check out books.

  Students in Kindergarten may check out 1 item.  Students in 1st-5th grade may check out 2 items each week.

  Library books should be brought back on the student's scheduled checkout day.  At that time, the student my renew the items or select other titles to check out.

  If the student forgets his/her books, he/she may return them on the next school day.

  Their are no "daily fines" for overdue books, but if any book becomes 3 weeks overdue, a special note will be sent home.  This note will say that we assume that the book is "lost" and the student will be charged the replacement cost (plus a $1.00 processing fee) for the book.

  The student will not be able to check out anything else from LMC until the book is returned or paid for.   

   The LMC has computers for students and staff.

  Computers in the LMC are provided for student learning.  Each student must have permission to use the Internet on any school equipment.

  Teachers may schedule additional computer time during open LMC times.

  The following rules will be followed in the library:

   Take care of our library environment.

  Be respectful to one another and yourself.

  Wait your turn.

  Be quiet when others are talking or working-The noise level in the  
         LMC must always be low to not disturb readers.

  Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.  Students will be given a
        reminder for the first offense and will report to Time Out on the
        second offense. 

  No food, beverages, or gum are allowed in the LMC, unless
        permission is granted from LMC personnel.
