KINDERGARTENERS: Students in Kindergarten will be able to borrow a maximum of one book for use at home or in class during the week. Kindergarteners will be given a library card during their time in the library. If they borrow a book, the card will be placed inside the front or back jacket of the book. This card is to REMAIN IN THE BOOK while the book is being used at home or in class. If they don't borrow a book, the card will remain in the library, to be available the next time a book is borrowed. If a book is not returned whithin the week alloted, the child will not be able to borrow another book until that book is returned. Please make every effort to help your child maintain a positive book borrowing experience with our library - by teaching your child to keep the book in a safe place at home. GRADES 1 THROUGH 5: Students in grade 1 have the opportunity to borrow one book per week for a period of one week. Students in grades 2 through 5 have the opportunity to borrow two books at a time, for a period of two weeks. A new book may only be borrowed if a previous book is returned. If the student has an overdue book, no new books may be borrowed. Library cards will be not used, but all borrowing activity will be recorded in the Media Center computer. The student's teacher and Mrs. Berzanskis as well as the class schedule will determine whether or not books may be borrowed during class time in a given week. At certain times during the school year, the student's teacher may require the student to borrow addtional book(s) for research or projects. In this case, a student may have more than the allowed books out at one time. The student has the same responsibility for taking care of all books in their possession. LIBRARY FINES: Any student that has not returned a library book(s) by the end of the school year will be charged for each missing book. If a book is lost during the year, the student will not be allowed to continue borrowing until the book is returned or paid for (cash only). If a book is found after it had already been paid for and returned to the media center prior to the last day of the school year, payment will be returned.
