Procedures

 
Circulation

  • Students may check out books for 3 weeks using their Redbook barcode or Student ID card. 
  • Students may check out magazines for five school days. 
  • Fines are 10 cents per day for each item that is overdue.   Weekends, breaks, and holidays are bonus days and are not counted. Student absences may excuse fines. Maximum fines are $2.00.
  • Students are responsible for paying for lost or damaged books.
  • Students are responsible for paying fines prior to checking out new materials. If you owe $1.00 or more, you must reduce your fine in order to check out recreational reading material.
  • Students are expected to bring a book to Pride each day. Books may be checked out from our Media Center during Pride.

    Book Returns/Lost Books

    Any books at home that were checked out last year must be returned to the Media Center to clear the circulation record. If a student is new to our school AND has a book checked out from another Plymouth - Canton school, it may be returned to us. We will send it to the appropriate building.
