Policies and Procedures
The loan period for books owned by our library is two weeks, with reasonable allowance for renewals. Students are informed of due dates when items are checked out. Students will be reminded when materials become overdue, but it is the student’s responsibility to return or renew materials on time and to pay any costs to replace lost or damaged items.
Our library is a member of the Lincoln Trail branch of the Illinois Heartland Library System. Students may request items from member libraries, but the library staff reserves the right to review interlibrary loan items for school-appropriateness.
