Library Policies Students come to the library as a class every week. First grade and kindergarten may come visit the library on their own as they have time in class. Students check-out books for one week. If they have an overdue book they may not get new books until the overdue book is returned or paid for. |

Grade Level
Policies First Grade Check-out Policies: First graders begin by checking-out one picture book at a time. Once first graders start the accelerated reader program, they may check-out two books. Kindergarten Check-out Policies: Kindergarten starts the year with several lessons on book care and book selection. Once this is mastered, they will check out one book at a time. Students will be issued a large Ziploc bag in which to transport their books to and from school. |
