Circulation

Our policy allows each student to check out books only.  Books are circulated for two weeks and may be renewed by the student on or before the date due.  

Reference materials are circulated only if they are needed for special reports or projects.  The student is allowed to borrow one source per evening.  The book must be returned to the library by 8:00 a.m. the following morning.  Our complete reference collection must be available for classes to utilize during the school day.

Overdue Materials

Students are responsible for returing the books they check out from the library.  At this time we don't charge an overdue fee. If there is a lost item, there is a charge of the cost of the book plus two dollars for the reassessing a replacement.
