How many books may I have checked out?

A student may have 2  books checked out at a time provided the student does not have any overdue 
books.  A few exceptions may be made for students who have a history of numerous overdue books.  
These students may only be allowed to have one book at a time checked out.  This decision will be 
made by Mrs. Gibson and could change during the year if the student proves himself to be timely in 
returning items.

How do I put a book on hold?

If there is a book that you would like to put on hold, just let either Mrs. Gibson or Mrs. Holt 
know at the circulation desk.

Do I have to pay a fine if my book is late?

We do have an overdue fine of 5 cents per day  for every day that a book is late.  Weekends and 
days out of school are not included in calculating late charges. You do have a three day grace 
period after the book is due.  If you return the book during these three days, you will not be 
charged a fine.

Will we be doing AR this year?

We have a reading program at WJB that is different from the other schools in our system called 
"Reading for Success."  Students will still be required to read but will have several 
options for 
assessment over the books.  Each student will  sign a Reading contract at the beginning of each 
nine 
weeks that will detail what they are choosing to do.  More details will be given at the beginning of 
the school year.
