How often do students visit the library?
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade typically visit the library once
a week. Students in grades six through eight visit the library as needed to
support their research needs.
How many books may students borrow?
Due to the small size of our library, we allow students to borrow just one
book at a time.
How long is the loan period for each book?
The library loans books to students for two weeks. Items can be renewed
should more time be necessary.
Does the library collect fines for overdue materials?
We do not collect overdue fees. We do expect that families pay the
replacement cost for books that are lost or damaged by their students.
What if I need special considerations from the library staff?
Should special considerations be needed for your student, or if you need to
communicate with Mr. Demco, you should email him or call the library at 651
768-3053.
How can I volunteer in the library?
There are two excellent ways to volunteer in the library, both require that
volunteers complete VIRTUS training, complete the background check paperwork,
and sign the code of ethics statement.
Individuals interested in volunteering in the library can talk to their
child's teacher and possibly become that class's weekly library parent. The
duties for that person generally include performing student check outs,
shelving returned items, and reading aloud to students. These volunteers are
very important to smooth operation of the library.
Other individuals who wish to volunteer might call Mr. Demco directly and
volunteer to work in the library without attachment to a specific class.
Duties for these individuals could include performing student check outs,
shelving returned items, reading aloud to students, cleaning/dusting the
library, performing collection maintenance, sorting and delivering overdue
notices, and other odd jobs that arise. These volunteers are also very
important to smooth operation of the library.
