Media Center

  • Welcome to our library media program at Irby.  It is designed not only to encourage the acquisition of reading skills but also to foster a love of reading. By providing materials for both home and school, we hope our students will gain an appreciation of how books and reading can support and enhance all other learning throughout their lives.Three children sitting and reading in a library

Circulation Procedures

  • All of Irby Elementary's primary students come with their classes to the library media center each week.  They may check out one book at a time, due back in a week, either during their class times or as they come in independently.

    The charge for a lost, damaged or destroyed library book will be either the original or replacement price of the book.  If a lost book which has been paid for is returned within one year, a full refund will be given.
