What happens if I find a book that has been listed as lost/fine was issued?
Please return the book to the library and the fine will be removed from the student's account. If you already paid the fine, but find the book within 60 days, a refund will be issued. For any books found beyond 60 days, no refunds will be issued. By the 60-day mark, books have typically been replaced through purchase.
Are there options aside from paying the fine?
Families may replace the book directly to the library by purchasing it themselves. If a family would prefer this route, please be sure to replace the book with the exact title and physical style of book (hardback, paperback, etc.).
How do I get a refund of a fine that was paid?
Families may request a reimbursement form from the school's bookkeeper and return it to them once completed.
Do fines follow my child if they move to a different school within the district?
Yes. For any promotional changes (i.e. 5th to 6th Grade, or 8th to 9th Grade) or intra-district transfers, fines will remain on that student's account until they are paid.
What should I do with a damaged book?
Please contact your school's teacher-librarian about a damaged book. We ask that families do not try to repair a damaged book themselves. Teacher-librarians will assess the condition of the book and do their best to repair it.
