Library Policies

The Library Media Center is an integral part of each student’s education at Shaw Heights. The library is open Monday – Friday from 7:00 – 3:00. While in the library, students will check out books, listen to stories, practice computer skills and participate in library maker spaces. Throughout the year, students will receive instruction on using the library, using online resources, research skills and digital citizenship.

Check Out Policy:

· Students in grade 2 may check out two books. 
· Students in grade 3 may check out three books.

Books are checked out for a period of one week and can then be renewed for additional weeks if needed. Books must be returned or renewed before additional books can be checked out. Parents may sign up to check out additional books. Parents are allowed to have up to 5 books checked out at a time. When students and/or parents check out a library book, they are responsible for the care of their books until they have been returned to the library. If a student loses a book or the book is damaged while in his/her care, it must be paid for before another book can be checked out. Lost/damaged books must be paid for at the end of the year prior to report cards being issued, otherwise report cards will be held in the guidance office.
