Checkout Policy

  1. Fiction/non-fiction books may be checked out for three weeks.
  2. Reference books may be checked out overnight (one day).
  3. Books may be renewed if students bring the book back to the circ desk to renew.
  4. Overdue notices will be sent to second or third period teacher who will pass the notice to students.
  5. Students will receive an overdue notice immediately after items are overdue, with a reminder that they will be assessed a $1.00 fine per item (if not returned within the grace period of 7 days after due date). After the first week (7 days after due date), students will receive a second overdue notice and be charged a $1.00 fine. For each week after that, students will receive an overdue notice and another $1.00 fine (for each week that materials are overdue). At the end of the third week (21 days), parents will be notified. At the end of the fourth week (28 days after due date), students who have not paid their fines and returned or paid for their overdue materials will receive detention. Additional detentions/suspensions will be assigned until students have returned or paid for fines and overdue materials. (Detention will eliminate the outstanding fines, but students will still have to pay for any items not returned in acceptable condition.) Only those seniors who have paid all of their fines and returned or paid for all of their library materials will be allowed to attend the graduation ceremony. Upon graduation, the School Resource Officer may be notified of any seniors who failed to return or pay for lost or damaged media center materials.
  6. Patrons are responsible for replacing the cost of a lost or damaged book.
  7. There is a block on checking out materials until fines for overdue materials and book replacement costs are paid.
