Library Procedures

The Valley Library provides students and teachers with a well organized and easily accessible collection of reliable sources in English and Spanish allowing them to become independent information seekers. It is our school wide goal that students will become aware of the important role of literature and develop good reading habits to become lifelong learners.
 

Library Rules

  • Respect the library materials
  • Everything has a correct place
  • Always share by returning your books when they are due
  • Don’t disturb others while in the library
Check-In Procedures Place books in the book drop at the circulation desk. To renew a book, place a renewal request note in your book.
Check-Out Procedures Kindergarten and 1st students may check out one book each library visit. 2nd—5th students may check out up to two books each library visit.
 

Overdue, Lost, and Damaged Books

Students who have overdue books may not check out other books until the overdue books are returned.

Lost books must be paid for in full or replaced with a new copy of the book. A bill will be sent to the student’s parents. Checks need to be made payable to Valley Elementary.
 
Any book that is damaged will be assessed as to whether the book can be repaired or must be replaced. Replacement procedures will be the same as those for lost books.
