How long do books go out for?

• New arrivals circulate for 2 weeks and can be renewed once if no one has placed a hold on them.
• Reference books are intended for in-house use but may be checked out overnight at the end of the school day with the permission of a librarian.

How many books can I take at a time?

• You can sign out 3 books from the new arrivals shelf at a time.  You can check out 25 books from the other collections (fiction and nonfiction).
