All materials are checked out for one week.  

Books must be returned in the exact shape in which they were checked out.  If the book is returned with any damage it must be replaced at the full publishers price.  The most common damages are the result of dogs and younger brother and sisters getting at the books and books being damaged by liquids being spilled on them.

Books must be returned on the check out day in order for new books to be checked out.

Kindergarteners may check out one book per week.  

First Graders may check out one book during the first semester.  Two books may be checked out during the second semester (Child must be able to read at least one of the books checked out during the semester).

2nd Graders may check out two books per week (Child must be able to read at least one the books checked out).

3rd-5th Graders may check out two items per week. No more than one of these items can be a magazine.

If a child does not want to check out a book because he/she is reading a book from home or one that has been checked out from a public library then that book should be brought to the IMC on check out day for independent reading.
