Kindergarten and 1^st grade students are permitted to checkout one book per week. Students in 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grades may checkout two books per week. 

In all grades, students may not checkout any new books if they have more than one unreturned book. Please contact the librarian if your child has lost their library book. Lost books can often be found at home or school.

Volunteers

Parent volunteers are always welcome in the library. Library volunteers are an essential and valuable part of our library program. They help to run the circulation desk, label and shelve books, and allow the librarian to devote more time to teach children the valuable skills of enjoying literature and becoming information masters. 

If you are interested in volunteering your time to support our library, please email Mr. Carter.
