All students are scheduled for a library period with their class once a week for instruction and to check out library books. In addition to the scheduled library period, students may visit the library to check out books when the library is open and the librarian is present. Library books are checked out to students for one week. Library books may be renewed.
Kindergarten begins the year by checking out a library book to their classroom.
After winter break, kindergarten students will be able to check out 1 book home.
1st grade students may check out 1 book.
After Winter break, 1st grade students will be able to borrow 2 books.
2nd grade students are able to check out 2 books at the beginning of the year.
After Winter break, students may borrow 3 books each week.
3rd & 4th grade students may borrow 3 books each week.
5th grade students may borrow 3 books each week provided that the student does not have any overdue books. Students in 5th grade will not be allowed to check out books until all materials are returned.
Lost and Overdue Books: We strive to teach Orrington students to be responsible throughout the school. When a book is overdue, students are verbally reminded about the book. Fines are NOT charged for OVERDUE books. However, if students have lost or misplaced a library book, they are asked to have the adults in their family help them look carefully and return materials as soon as possible. Students who lose or damage library materials will be asked to pay the replacement cost for the item. Students with unpaid charges will have limited library checkout until the charges are paid. The librarian will have the flexibility to provide alternative ways for a financially burdened student to compensate the library for lost or damaged library materials.
