Student Circulation Policies

2023-2024 Student Circulation Policy

• Kindergarten students can check out one book every time their class comes for their library time and when their teacher signs them up to bring them to do checkouts only.
• 1st-6th grade students can check out one book at a time for a period of two weeks. Students can check out books when they come for their assigned library time, when their teacher signs their class up to come for checkout, and/or when they come individually with a library pass. Books can be renewed once; of course, exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
• Students cannot check out a new book until their late book is returned.
• Overdue notices are printed once a month and placed in teacher boxes for teachers to distribute.
• Students are not charged fines for overdue books.
• They are charged fines for damaged books. These fines include:  
  
  • Lost Book: Price of the book
  • Cover missing: Price of the book
  • Broken cover: Price of the book
  • Writing on cover: Price of the book
  • Missing page: Price of the book
  • Writing on pages: $0.10 per page up to the price of the book
  • Torn pages: $0.15 per page up to the price of the book
  • Crayon/Ink blotted pages: $1.00 per page up to the price of the book
  • Food/Drink spills: $1.00 per page up to the price of the book
• Any lost or damaged book must be paid for, either by cash, check, or MySchoolBucks, before a student can check out another book. Checks are made payable to Elsanor Elementary School.
• At no time will a student be charged more than the cost of replacing the book at the original price.
• If a student pays for a book and then finds it within the same school year, the book needs to be returned to the library and the student will receive a refund through the school bookkeeper. We would much rather have our library book than have the money!
