The

supports
these
standards
and
integrates
them
across
the
content
areas.
Standards
for
the
21st-Century

Policy
Adoption:
There
were
not
policies
on
these
topics
in
the
files.
After
a
discussion
with
the
previous
librarian
and
current
LMS
assistant,
these
policies
were
never
formally
written
until
now.
Policy
approval
by
the
school
board
is
done
during
the
summer
months
at
the
June
and
July
board
meeting.
The
library
policy
will
need
to
be
formally
added
to
the
agenda
in
June
to
allow
for
comments
or
suggestions.
The
board
will
consider
these
policies
and
determine
approval
during
the
July
meeting.
Upon
approval,
policies
will
be
added
to
the
printed
teacher
packets
and
online
resources
for
the
teachers
and
students.
A
portion
of
the
staff
training
time
at
the
start
of
the
school
year
will
be
used
to
discuss
the
policy
and
media
center
resources
available.

Circulation/Access
Policy
Students
are
welcome
anytime
8:00
to
4:00
when
school
is
in
session.
It
is
a
privilege
to
check
out
books,
but
also
very
important
to
student
learning.
Elementary
classes
will
visit
the
library
weekly
as
a
class.
Students
will
be
allowed
to
check
out
up
to
two
books
during
this
time.
Periodicals
and
reference
materials
can
be
used
in
the
library
or
classroom
with
teacher
permissions
for
24
hours.
The
standard
check
out
period
for
books
is
one
week
unless
special
arrangements
are
made
under
the
direction
of
their
teacher.
They
can
be
returned
and
checked
out
during
class
time
as
well
as
open
library
hours.
If
a
student
has
not
finished
reading
their
book,
a
renewal
period
is
allowed
for
an
additional
week.
Special
permission
must
be
given
for
additional
renewal
after
discussion
with
Library
staff.
Please
care
for
the
checked
out
books
while
in
your
care.
Find
a
safe
and
dry
location
in
your
home
to
store
library
books
while
not
being
read
so
they
can
be
found
quickly.
Keep
out
of
reach
of
small
children
and
pets.
Overdue
books
notices
are
sent
with
students
a
week
past
the
original
due
dates.
Damaged
books
should
be
returned
to
library
to
assess
the
appropriate
plan
of
action.
If
there
is
a
possibility
of
repair,
the
student
will
be
financially
responsible
for
this
repair.
Lost
books
will
have
an
appropriate
fine
or
will
need
to
be
replaced
with
a
comparable
quality
of
book
at
the
expense
of
the
student.
Special
considerations
will
be
made
with
Administration
and
Library
staff
to
determine
financial
hardships.
In
these
cases,
other
arrangements
will
be
with
the
student.
All
books
are
to
be
checked
back
in
one
week
prior
to
the
semester
end.
This
gives
the
library
staff
enough
time
to
assess
inventory.
Any
unpaid
fines
will
receive
daily
notices
until
it
is
resolved.
The
digital
library
collection
can
be
accessed
year
round,
anytime
of
the
day,
from
anywhere
with
an
Internet
connection.
Up
to
five
books,
can
be
checked
out
at
one
time.
The
checkout
period
will
last
for
one
week.
Items
will
disappear
from
your
device
at
the
end
of
the
week.
Daily
notifications
display
on
the
device
to
remind
the
student
of
the
check
in
dates.
Early
check
in
is
available
and
encouraged
so
that
other
students
may
access
the
book.
Renewal
is
only
available
if
there
is
not
a
wait
list
on
the
book.
If
the
book
is
available,
the
student
may
check
it
out
again.
If
the
desired
book
is
not
available,
a
student
can
place
the
book
on
hold.
An
email
will
notify
the
account
holder
when
the
book
is
available.
