Book checkout:
- Books are checked out on a 2 week basis and can be renewed as needed.
- All students are allowed to check out 5 books at a time.
- Books can be returned in the book drop slot in front of the media center entrance, or the book return carts in the media center by our Maker Space. Please make sure you are placing books on the correct book return cart.
Fees & Fines:
- There are NO late fees on books; however, if a student has requested the book you have overdue, we require that you return it ASAP.
- If a library material is not returned by the end of the school year, a replacement fine will be placed on the student’s account. This can prevent the student from participating in special school events such as homecoming, prom, or grad bash and other senior events.
- Please speak with media staff if you have questions or concerns about a library fine.
