Student use of the library is encouraged and promptness and cooperation in return of the materials is essential to the effective use of the books and materials. Students may only check out books if they have completed a Library Use Agreement. Students are allowed up to two books to be checked out. If a book is not returned within two weeks of the return date, the book will be considered lost. Lost, stolen, or damaged books are the financial responsibility of the student who checks them out. Students who have lost or destroyed books will not be allowed to check out any library material until they have taken care of their responsibility by paying to replace the destroyed or lost book. Restitution arrangements can be made with the principal if the student can't afford to pay. If a student pays for a ‘lost’ book and it is later returned, the student will be reimbursed for the cost of the money paid.
