Library Information

Circulation Policies:
Kindergartners and first graders begin by checking out one book and move to a second book as the teacher permits. Second through fifth graders may check out 2 books. Students should come to the library to get a new book as soon as you have finished reading their books. Third through fifth graders may checkout a magazine. All magazines are due the next day.

Overdue Books: 
A note will be sent home if a student has an overdue book. Please look for the book and bring it back to the library. Students may not check out another book if they have an overdue book. Books may be rechecked if they are not finished reading. 


Lost Books:
If a student has a lost book, please come to the library and let us know. The child will receive a printout that tells them the cost of the book. They will not be allowed to check out another book until the lost book is paid for. The money will be used to replace the lost book. If the book is found after it was paid for, please bring it to the library. We will refund the money if it is turned in before Sept. 1st of the next year. A check will be mailed to the parents.


Fines:
We do not charge fines for overdue books. Students will not be allowed to check out another book if you have an overdue book. 


Damaged Books:
If a book is damaged while it is checked out to a student, they will be responsible for the cost of the replacement of the book. Even if your child did not damage the book him/herself, they are responsible for it while it is checked out to them. If a book is damaged, please come to the library with the book. A note will be sent home stating the cost of the book. Students will not be allowed to check out another book until the damaged book is paid for. 


Library Behavior:
The Northern Hills virtues apply to all areas of the school including the library. If students are not following the virtues, library privileges can be taken away. Students can receive a mark in their Self-Manager folder from the librarian and library assistant.
