Loan Periods

Students at Evergreen Union School District can have access to checking out books from the library. These library books can be enjoyed at school or at home. The lending periods for books are set by grade level as follows:
 
TK-1: 1 item for 1 week.
2-8: 2 items for 2 weeks.
 
All students visit the library weekly for an oppurtunity to browse books and students in Grades 2+ can log on to the Library's Catalog to place books on hold. If a student would like more time with a book, they can bring the book in to the library and request a renewel. 

Overdue Items

There are no fines for overdue items. However, an overdue item on a borrower's account will prevent the individual from checking out any further items. If an item is overdue for six weeks or longer, it will be presumed lost and the borrower will be issued a fine for the cost to replace the book; this fine will be waived if the missing item is returned in good repair. 

Library Book Care

Best practices for caring for library books include:

-Store your library books in a large zip-top bag in your backpack.
-Have one safe place for your library books at home, ideally away from younger children and pets.
-Use a bookmark to mark your spot, never dog-ear pages.
-Wash and dry your hands before reading.
-Do not eat, drink or use craft supplies near your books.

Fines

At Evergreen Union School District, students will only be fined for lost or damaged materials. Materials are assumed to be lost if they have not been returned after six weeks, however if a lost item is returned after a fine is assigned, that fine will be waived. If materials are returned with irreparable damage, students will be fined. In both cases, the fine will be the total cost to replace the lost or damaged materials based on how much the item initially cost. If a student has an unpaid fine, it will prevent them from checking out further library materials until that fine is resolved.

Fine Payment

Fines can be resolved by submitting payment in cash, by check made out to Evergreen USD, or online here. If paying by cash or check, please enclose the payment in an envelope with your students' first and last name and “Library” clearly written on it, this envelope can be brought directly to the library, to your students’ teacher or to the office staff. You can find detailed instructions for making online payments here.
