Library

1. You already have 5 books checked out from the CMS library (the max number of physical and digital books that can be checked out).
2. You have overdue books at the CMS library.

CMS Library Book Policies:

• Students must have their school issued ID card to check out books.  If a student doesn't have their ID card, books may be held for up to one week.
• Students may have up to 5 books checked out at any given time.
• The check-out period is 3 weeks per book.  Once a book becomes overdue, the system will send out emails every day a book is overdue until it is returned.
• Books may be renewed twice.  Each renewal is an additional 3 weeks.  Books may be renewed up to one week after the due date.
• Be careful when returning books.  Returning school library books to other libraries will delay the clearing of the student's record or even result in a loss.
• If a library book is lost or damaged beyond repair, it is the responsibility of the student and parent(s) to pay the replacement cost.  Acceptable methods of payment are cash or checks (made out to CMS).
• Damaged books should be returned to the librarian for evaluation.  The damage may not be due to a single student's use.  In that case, students and parents will not be responsible for the replacement cost.
• Please do not buy a book to replace a damaged or lost book before consulting the librarian.
• If a lost book is paid for, then found and returned to the library by the last day of school of the same school year, a full cash refund will be issued to the student.

Below are some additional expectations for using the CMS library:

• Students should use the library in a manner that does not disturb other students.
• Library books that have been checked out should be kept safe from food, drinks, pets, markers, or other things that might damage books (ie: leaking water bottles in backpacks).
• Students should keep checked-out library books in a safe location.
• Students should turn pages carefully and use bookmarks.
• Books should be returned on time and be free of bookmarks, post-it notes, scraps of paper, etc.
