Student Checkout:

• Students visit the library once during each six-day rotation for a lesson and book checkout.
• Kindergarten students may check out two books; first through fourth-graders may check out three books at a time.  Each library class, students may check out as many new books as they have returned. (Books for class projects, guided reading groups, and school  literacy events such as book clubs do not count toward student checkout limits.)
• Students begin learning how to use the Destiny library catalog in third grade, but holds and renewals are completed by library staff . Students may renew a book unless it is on hold for another patron.

Please return books to the  classroom return bin the day before your library class!

Fines for students:

• There are no overdue fines.  Weekly overdue notices are sent home alternating between email and  backpack mail.
• Library staff will attempt to contact families directly if a book has been overdue for an extended period of time. Families may choose to take more time to search for the book, or they may request that the book be marked lost in the system and a fine created. 
• The fine for a lost  library item is equal to the cost of replacing the item. 
• Library staff will determine if books or other items damaged by water spills, pets, etc., will be able to be returned to the shelf. If the book must be replaced, a fine amount will be assessed that will not exceed the cost of the item.

• LMTC Directors will publish a schedule of due dates in the school family newsletter.  Any books not returned by the end of the year will be marked lost, and a replacement fine will be entered into Infinite Campus. 

  After fines are transferred to students’ Infinite Campus accounts, their LMTC record for library materials will be cleared.
