Memorial Library Check-Out Procedures
Students are encouraged to borrow at least one book during library class. We strive to help students find books that they'll enjoy and develop an appreciation for reading.
All students can renew books with 0 holds on them at the discretion of the librarian. Students in all grades are limited to one of the following per check-out period:
We encourage all students to be mindful of one another in the library and to take advantage of open library time during the day. Students are permitted to visit the library with their teacher's permission to swap their books on non-library days.
Memorial Lost or Damaged Book Policy
Students who forget their books on library days will be given an "Oops Note" as a reminder to return their books. We provide students with a 4-week grace period to locate missing books before marking them as lost in the system. An email will be sent to parents regarding the missing titles.
There are no fees for missing books. Once a book is marked lost in the system, families are invited to purchase a replacement book at their discretion. Missing books can be returned at any point once they are found by the student.
What if my child's book gets damaged?
Students are encouraged to return damaged books to the library. In many instances, these books can be repaired by the librarians. If a book gets damaged, please return all pieces to the library. This rule is reinforced with students during book care lessons.
Freedom to Read Statement
We encourage all of our students to borrow books that fit their personal and educational interests. However, we are aware that some books won't be a right fit for all families. If you have any questions about the book your child brought home, we encourage that you reach out to Ms. Weinman. Students can return their books to the library and exchange it for a new book.
We are happy accept book donations. Donations of new or gently used books will be accepted with prior approval. Please contact Ms. Weinman at eweinman@natickps.org with donation requests.
