Students may take out one or two books at a time depending on grade level. They are due back to the library in one week. Students may have a maximum of two books out at one time.  Students may bring the book or books to the library to be renewed for another week. Starting in the middle of grade one, students are required to sign out one book that is at their reading level. The other book they sign out may be a book that can be read to them or an interest book that they may just want to look at.

Reservations

At this time West Bench Elementary School Library does not reserve books.

Overdue Books

Students may not take out books if they have overdue books. If the book is overdue for a couple of weeks, we declare the book lost and ask that the book is paid for. This enables us to purchase another copy of the book and allows the student to be able to take out books again. If the book is found and returned to the library your money will be refunded ~ even if it is a year later!  Students are not charged an overdue fine.

Damaged Books

Students are strongly encouraged to put their library books in a plastic bag inside their backpacks.  Often lunches or water bottles leak in backpacks and the plastic bag offers a little more protection from these accidents.

If a book is damaged, we ask that you pay for the books so that we may order a replacement copy. If a book needs repairing, please bring it to the library to be repaired as we use special tape and glue to repair books.
