Students are expected to find a safe place to keep borrowed books at home. Students will be responsible for replacing or paying for lost books or books damaged beyond repair. There are no overdue fines; however students may be limited until all overdue items have been returned. Overdue notices will be sent regularly or you can have your child log in (ID#, password) to his/her library account from home to see what he/she has checked out. Please help your child find a consistent and safe place to keep his/her library books at home to prevent damage and loss.
