HCPSS Library Media Curriculum
How many books can students check out?
- Students in kindergarten and 1st grade may check out 1 book at a time.
- Students in 2nd grade, 3rd grade,4th grade and 5th grade may check out 2 books at a time.
- Students have the opportunity to check out additional books when working on research projects.
How long can students keep the books?
Books are checked out for 2 weeks, with the option of 1 renewal for 2 more weeks. Overdue notices are sent home if a book is not returned or renewed by the end of the 2 week period.
What happens if the book is lost or damaged?
The replacement price of a book will be listed on the overdue notice. If the book is lost, we ask that you make a payment towards the replacement in order to allow your child to continue to check out. If the book is damaged beyond repair, we also ask that you pay for a replacement. If a payment is made and the book is found, a refund will be issued. Also, we do not charge overdue fines, so once an overdue book is returned, no payment is required.
