Policies and Procedures

Ridge Park students visit the library weekly to learn library and technology skills, listen to story read alouds and to check out books.

Check-out limits

• Kindergarten: 1 book
• First, Second and Third Grade: 2 books

Check-out period

The check-out period for books is one week. However, books may be renewed another week, if needed.

Care and responsibility

At the beginning of each school year, students from kindergarten to third grade are instructed about the care and responsibility of checking out books. Here are some of the ideas that were discussed:

• Designate a special spot to store your library books.
• Wash your hands before reading.
• Always put your book in its special spot after you get through reading.
• Eating and reading don't mix.
• Use your backpack to transport your books. (Rain puddles and books don't mix.)
