GRIFFIN MEMORIAL SCHOOL LIBRARY

Before students can use the Griffin Memorial School Library, they must have a borrower’s contract on file in the library. With this contract, the student agrees to be responsible for materials borrowed and to return them on time.

BORROWING INFORMATION

1. Borrowing limit is set at two items. (One item for grade one.)
2. Books and magazines are due the next Library class. They can be renewed as long as there is not a reserve for that item. (Date Due stickers are not used since any school library book or magazine should be returned by the next Library class.)
3. Materials may be returned earlier than the specified library day; however, checkouts need to occur during regularly scheduled library classes, with the exception of absences.
4. Books may be renewed up to three times, unless the book is on reserve. The book needs to be brought into school to do this. Magazines are not subject to renewals.
5. Reference books cannot be borrowed. The exception is the circulating set of encyclopedias, which can be borrowed overnight.
6. Overdue notices are sent to homerooms regularly.
7. Lost or damaged materials are billed at the current replacement cost. If the material cannot be replaced, the following standard charges will apply:
Magazines - $3.00 Hardbound Books - $17.00
Paperbacks - $5.00 Encyclopedias - $50.00
Please do not buy a replacement book since many of the books are designed specifically for library circulation.
8. Borrowing privileges can be restricted based on failure to be responsible for materials.

These guidelines are subject to change.

Please ask your child when he/she is scheduled for library. If you have any questions, please contact the school at 424-5931 extension #1110.

Thank you,

Please return the bottom portion only. Keep the top half for your information.
