Library Information

Our Mission:

In reflection of our school, the mission of the Elmore Park Library Media Center seeks to engage each stakeholder in accepting 100% Responsibility by becoming independent and effective information seekers, while building lasting Relationships through collaborative learning opportunities in order to produce the extraordinary Results of a lifelong love for reading and knowledge.

 

Student behavior/ conduct:

The library follows all EPMS policies regarding student behavior and conduct found in the Family Guide. Conduct marks received in the library will be reflected in the student's ELA conduct grade. Students are not permitted to have gum or food items in the library, as both can be hazardous to the health of our books and technology. 

 

Library Materials Circulation Policy

Checkouts: Students are allowed to check out up to 3 items at a time.  Books (print and audio) are checked out for 2 weeks at a time. All items may be renewed 1 time. Any library item that is not returned after two months will be considered lost and the student will be charged the replacement fee.

 

Because our audio books are a more expensive format than the typical print book, a Playaway permission form must be on file before a Playaway audio book may be checked out. The Playaway permission form can be found under the student resources tab of the LMC page or by clicking here.

 

Overdue: If a student has a book overdue, they will not be permitted to check out a new item until the overdue book has been returned. Overdue notices will be sent to students through their school email address and through their homeroom teacher. Please check with Ms. Hubbard if you feel that you have been given an overdue notice in error. Responsibility for returning items to the library on time resides with the student who checked the book out.

 

Lost/ Damaged Items: If a student loses or damages a book, they will be charged the replacement cost of the book. If the book is later found during the school year, the student will be refunded if possible.
