Mission Statement

School Libraries are essential to the development of students as life-long learners and users. In Prince William County, school libraries support the educational goals of our school and our school system. The Bristow Run Library serves all students, teachers, staff members and members of the school community. Libraries serve as the center of the school’s instructional process.

Library Loan Policy

Students may come to check out books any time during the day. Two books may be checked out for 12 days and renewed a second time. If a book becomes overdue, NO more books may be checked out until the overdue book is returned. If a book is damaged beyond repair or lost, the borrower is responsible for paying for it. Magazines and Reference Books are for library use only. The oldest set of World Book Encyclopedias may be checked out overnight. It must be returned the next morning.
