Book+Circulation

Media Center Book Circulation
Regular books are checked out for ten school days. Days when the school is closed such as holidays and weekends are not counted. Ten school days usually work out to be approximately fourteen total days from the day a book is checked out until it is due depending on the number of school holidays.

Reference books and encyclopedias are checked out for five school days or just overnight if the book is in high demand. All books are given a Date Due sticker on the back of the book and the patron is told when the book is due. All books are given one grace day before fines begin on an overdue item, in case the student is absent due to illness on the day the book is due.

Books may be renewed for an additional ten school days upon request.

Fines for regular books are calculated at the rate of 10 cents per day overdue, with a maximum fine of $2.00 per book. Fines for reference books are calculated at the rate of 25 cents per day overdue, with a maximum fine of $2.00 per book.
