Mission

The mission of the Springhill School Library is to provide appropriate curriculum support for each grade level, teach information literacy skills to each student, and foster a love of reading in each student.

 

Class Visit Schedule

Each class comes to the library every week on the same day and at the same time. To check on your child's library schedule, go to Springhill Library Schedule 2012-2013

 

Circulation Policies

Checkouts

K 1st graders One book for one week
2-5 graders Four books for two weeks

Reserves

Students may reserve a book that is already checked out by filling out a reserve request slip at the checkout desk. The student will receive the book when it is available.

Overdue Books

We give overdue lists to teachers every Friday. If books are not returned when they are due, students may not check out new books. If a student has a book that is six weeks overdue, a reminder is sent to parents with the price of the missing book indicated. Overdue books must be returned before a student may receive a report card.

Fines

If a book is damaged or lost, we charge a replacement fee of $25.00 for a hardcover book and $10.00 for a paperback book. Parents also have the option of replacing the book.
