Media Center Policy

- All grades have a weekly half hour media center class period scheduled. However, children are encouraged to use the media center whenever they need to come.

- We do not set arbitrary limits in the number of books an individual may borrow at any one time. We encourage the children to be responsible, considerate, and select a reasonable number of appropriate materials.

- Parents are invited and encouraged to use the library's resources. The Media Specialist is available to recommend appropriate titles or provide materials, bibliographies, and book lists to parents if requested.

- Most books are loaned for two week time periods and must be returned or renewed by the due date. Longer time periods are available on request.

- Video cassettes, DVD's and computer software are available for overnight and weekend borrowing.

- Overdue notices are sent out weekly. Children with many overdue items may be restricted from further borrowing until the overdues are returned or renewed.

- Borrowers are responsible for materials signed out to them. Any lost or damaged library materials must be paid for according to a fee schedule set by the district or the replacement cost of the iten.
