Checking out and returning books                                                                               

Kindergarten - 1 book each week that stays in the classroom all year                                                                              

 1st grade - 1 book each week that can be read at home starting in October

Upper grades can check out as many books as their grade level each week:

2nd grade - 2 books

3rd grade - 3 books

4th grade - 4 books

5th grade - 5 books

Students can keep books for up to 2 weeks and are encouraged to bring them back regularly to get new books!

Books are returned to the library during weekly class times or open times.

Books can be renewed if students need more time to read them, unless a book is on hold for another student.

Students can request a hold on a checked-out book so it can be put aside for them when it's returned.

During the school year, students and families may receive emails about book due dates or overdue books.  These are sent by ½ûÂþÌìÌà Libraries' automated system as a courtesy reminder.

Any questions about these emails can be directed to Mrs. Juska at mjuska@pps.net.

½ûÂþÌìÌà Libraries do not charge late fees for overdue books.  Fees are only charged if a book is damaged beyond repair.

The replacement cost will be posted in .

Please contact Mrs. Juska if you have any questions or need assistance with fees.
