In-Person Book Check-Out:

If you would like to schedule a time to check out books, please talk to your teacher or email me. All students are permitted to check out 2 books at a time. When books are returned, they are quarantined for 48 hours before being checked-in and re-shelved.

If you would like to place a “Hold” on a book and have it delivered to your classroom teacher, view this video.
