Library Policies
Students are allowed to sign out library books and magazines for a two-week period. Most materials may be renewed if the student has not completed reading them at the end of the two-week period. Reference books are available on an overnight loan basis only.
- Kindergarten and first grade students are allowed to borrow one book at a time.
- Second graders through fifth graders are allowed to borrow the number of library materials (books and magazines) which corresponds with their grade level (i.e.. third graders may borrow three books).
- Books may be exchanged every day at the teacher’s discretion.
- Fines are not assessed for books returned past their due date, however, students are strongly encouraged to be responsible and renew materials they may not be finished reading yet. Parents are asked to help their children keep library materials in good condition.
- Please keep them away from pets and small children who often tear or write on the pages. Your cooperation and support in protecting our library materials and returning them on time is greatly appreciated.
Lost Books
If you can locate the materials, please return them as soon as possible. If they have been lost or damaged, the cost of replacement is available upon request from the library. You can send in cash or a check made out to “Schoharie Central Schools.” Another option is to send in replacement books. The replacements must be in good condition, appropriate for an elementary school library, not books that have been withdrawn from our school or another library, and must equal the same total value of the overdue materials. Because we spend public money, it is our obligation to safeguard the collection, therefore your child will not be allowed to take out books until this problem is remedied.
