Does my child have to pay a late fee if a book is not returned on time?

Although we do not charge late fees, his/her class will not 
receive a 
sticker for the week.  In order for a class to earn a sticker, 
they must 
have a 100% book return rate. At the end of each marking period, 
the class 
that has the most stickers wins a prize.

Why must my child memorize his/her student ID number for book check-out?

Students' ID numbers are located on their lunch cards.  Using a 
student's ID 
number for book check-out is the most accurate way to ensure that 
the books 
are being borrowed under the proper student's name/library 
account.  Also, 
this ID number most likely will be the same throughout a 
student's entire 
school career.  Therefore, learning it at an early age will only 
make life 
easier for him/her as he/she graduates to the upper grades.

What is your policy on lost or damaged books?

If a book is lost or damaged beyond repair, the student is 
responsible for 
paying the full price, according to our records, to replace the 
book.
