may pay for a lost book in the Media Center at any time, just see

What if I let my friend borrow my book and they don't return it?

Any book that is checked out to you is your responsibility.  If 
your friend 
loses the book while it is still checked out to you, you have to 
pay the 
fine.  The best rule of thumb is never to loan a book when it is 
still 
checked out in your name.  Always turn it in and tell your friend 
to get it 
from the library.

What if a book gets damaged while it is checked out to me, but I didn't do it?

If any damage occurs to a book while it is checked out to you, 
not matter if 
the damage was caused by a friend, your sibling, or another 
relative, you 
have to pay the fine for the damage.  While a book is checked out 
to you, it 
is your responsibility, no one else's.

How do I locate AR books in our library?

All of our AR books are marked with a dark blue circular sticker 
on the spine 
just above or just below the spine label.

How can I tell what AR level the book is and how many points it is worth?

Turn to the inside back cover and look for a white label with 
this 
information.

Can students check out magzines?

Students may check out one magazine in addition to their limit of 
two books, 
however any student who owes any fines for lost or damaged books 
may not 
check out magazines until those fines have been paid.
