Checking
Out MaterialsBooks and Magazines: Students with no overdue items may check out two books or one book and one magazine at a time. Items may be borrowed for two weeks. Items not on hold for another student may be renewed if needed.
Reference Books: Reference books may be checked out overnight at the end of the school day. They must be returned the following morning upon arrival at school. The overdue fine is $1.00 per day on these items.
If
a book is lost or damaged so that it may no longer be used, replacement cost
plus a $2.00 processing fee will be charged.
FinesFive cents will be charged for every school day an overdue book or magazine is not returned. The date an item is due is stamped on the card in the pocket at the back of the book.
Fifty cents will be charged for every lost date due card. Please do not use these date due cards as bookmarks. Bookmarks are available at the circulation desk.
One dollar will be charged for lost magazine envelopes. Please keep magazines in these envelopes when not being read.
Library CitizenshipStudents are
expected to follow all school rules while in the library.
The library is a shared learning space. Please respect other students working in the library by being quiet and staying on task.
If a book has a torn page or the cover is loose, please do not try to repair the book. Let us know because we have special materials to use in repairing books.
Materials borrowed from the BMS library are the responsibility of the person checking out the materials. Do not lend books to other students or treat books in a way that may result in damage to them.
All students are encouraged to have a public library card so that they may use the many print and electronic resources available through the public library. Applications for a card are available at the Beville Library.
