A Daily Opportunity for Checking Out Books

Kindergarteners may check out one book at a time for a period of two weeks, but may bring the book back as soon as they finish it, and get a new one if they wish. Grades 1-5 may check out two books for a period of two weeks.

Video Taping of Student Plays

We video tape all student productions and sell the tapes for $6. All profits are used to buy more materials for the media center.

Damaged Books

We try to teach the children to respect and take care of books. It helps if children can have a special place to put library books that is out of the reach of younger brothers and sisters and away from crayons or pencils.

If a book is damaged, written in or colored in, you will be responsible for paying for it so that we can replace it. As you probably already know, books are presently very expensive. It is not unusual for an average book to cost $20 or more. So anything we can do to prevent loss or damage will help us all.
