What if an item is overdue?
Reminder notices for overdue materials are printed and distributed Tuesday mornings after school starts. There are no late fees, but students may not borrow any more materials until the item is returned or paid for. After a 3rd - 8th grade patron's item has been overdue for 2 weeks, the student will spend lunch and recess in the library until it is returned or paid for.

What if an item is lost?
You do not need to go out and buy a replacement book for the library if it is lost. However, you will need to pay for it. The amount will be listed on the overdue notice.

What else can students do in the LMC?
Besides borrowing items, students may come to the library to do research or homework, read, listen to books on tape or use our PC computers, which have Internet access and are installed with Microsoft Word, Excel and Power Point. Also, see our Events page.
