    • All materials must be checked out and returned at the front desk. Parents are considered responsible for the materials until they are checked in.
  • Check-out Duration:
    • Two weeks for books and one week for videos/DVDs.
  • Lost and Overdue Materials:
    • A replacement fee will be charged for all lost or destroyed books, videotapes, and DVDs. Borrowers will be sent reminder notices and anything past due 30 days or more will be assessed the replacement fee.
