Students in kinder may have one book checked out at a time. Students in grades 1-4 may have two books checked out at a time. All books may be checked out for one week, and may be renewed on an as needed basis.

Classes visit our library weekly for instruction and checkout. Students may utilize our Open Check Out program which allows students the flexibility to visit the library individually on a more frequent basis.

Parents, please help to ensure your child is a good library citizen and returns his/her book on time.
