Who works in the Library?
Mrs. Cleary is the Teacher-Librarian and Mrs. Lokar is the Assistant Librarian. There are also community and student volunteers who keep the library organized and running smoothly.

When is the library open?
The library is open to students and parents from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm each school day. The library is also open for both lunch recesses. Students may come and read, play games, use the computers or finish class work. Throughout the day, if you need help in the library, get a pass from your teacher and come down. We are always happy to help you locate materials or find that “just right book!”

How long can I keep the things I check out?
You may check out materials for 1-2 weeks. You may renew your materials as often as you wish unless they are on hold for another patron. The book I have is overdue. I've had it out for a long time. Please bring your book back to the library as soon as possible, because someone may be waiting for it. You will not be able to check out another book until you have brought all of your books back. There are no fines for overdue books. If books are more than four weeks overdue, we will assume it is lost and send you a bill to replace it. It will then be your responsibility to pay for the book if you cannot find it or if it has been damaged. At the end of the year, if the book still has not been returned, your report card will be held in the office. Remember--it is never too late to return a book! I got an overdue notice from the library and I am certain I returned the book. Unfortunately at times there are glitches in our circulation system. If you have a question about a book that is lost or has a charge, please come see us.

How do I find books in the library?
In the library we have computers to use for searching called Online Public Access Computers (OPAC). You can search for books by Title, Author and Subject.

What if I want a book that you don't have?
Let us know! We’re always making lists of book and materials to purchase. Plus we are happy to help you find out if our local county library system has what you need.
