• Scheduling - Each class will be assigned a 30 minute time slot in the library for instruction and book checkout. Kindergarten will attend for 15 minutes each week. 
• Open Library - The library is open for book exchange from 9 - 1.
• Book  Check Out Limits - Kindergarten student will begin checking books out around the beginning of the new calendar year.  1st grade students may check out 1 book, and 2nd - 6th grade students may check out 2 books.

• Book Fines - Books that are lost, or are too damaged to be repaired, will be assigned a fee that is payable on MyDSD. Library book fines are non-waivable.
• Behavior - All students are taught library expectations.  Expectations include: quiet voices, proper care of books, and being respectful to others. We also follow all school rules: Be kind, Be safe, Be responsible, Be respectful.  I use a 3 strike system in the library for unexpected behavior. The 1st strike is a warning to change the behavior, the 2nd strike is a one minute time out to think about changing the behavior, and the 3rd strike takes away book check out privileges for the day and may result in a behavior ticket.
