• Open Library - The library is open for book exchange twice a day, from 9 -11 and 3:15 - 3:25.
• Book  Check Out Limits - Kindergarten student will begin checking books out around the beginning of the new calendar year, and will check out one book that will remain in their classroom. 1st - 3rd grade students may check out 2 books, and 4th - 6th grade students may check out 3 books.
• Book Care -  Students are responsible for lost or damaged books.  Any damaged books should be brought to Mrs. Harris for care.  Please do not attempt to tape, glue or repair the library books on your own.  Books that are lost or are too damaged to be repaired may be paid for on MyDSD.
• 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 students who don't follow expectations. The 1st strike is a warning, 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.

• Donations - Donations to the library are welcome and will be placed in circulation if they meet the circulation criteria.

• Inventory - To help maintain a timely collection and aid in material selection, an inventory will be completed yearly.
• Challenged Library Materials - Issues concerning library materials can most often be resolved by meeting with the school librarian.  Policy forms for Challenged Library Materials can be found at http://davis.k12.ut.us/Page/46
