A. Every item is due 2 weeks after it's been checked out, but you have the option to renew it for another 2 weeks.

A. Yes!

Q. May I checkout without my student ID?

A.  Yes, we now have a keypad you may use to type in your ID .

A. We will hold it for you until the end of the next school day.  After that it will go back on the shelf.

Q. What are the hours of the library?

A. We're open during the school day only.  There are times to visit the library according to our A or B Week.  See library bulletin board for schedules.

Q. If I have a book checked out and I see it needs repair, is it okay for me to repair it?

A. No,  although I appreciate your desire to repair the damage, the average home or even classroom doesn't have the proper supplies for book repair.  When you try to repair it with what you have, you do more harm.  Please tell me about the damage and allow me to repair it.

A.  Ms. Le is the Librarian, Ms. Hodapp is the Library para and there are 8th grade student library aides most periods.

A. Yes, if you returned the item(s) in the same condition you checked them out.  

Q. Can I replace a book I've lost or damaged with another copy of that same item?

A. Yes, as long as the item is new or in good condition.  You must see Ms. Le to make this arrangement.
