Circulation Procedures

 

Ford Elementary School Media Center implements flexible scheduling in order to afford access to the media center facilities to all students and teachers. Please read the following information carefully in planning library use. we look forward to working with the entire Ford community this year. Let us know how we may be of assistance.

Students may begin checking out books after they have attended library orientation, which will take place the second week of school. Teachers are strongly encouraged to attend with their classes.

  • Students must be in their classrooms by 8:45 in order to watch FMN Ford Mustang News.
  • Students must bring their bar coded shelf markers with them to check out books.
  • Students are responsible for reimbursing the school for books that are lost or damaged beyond use.  A bill will be sent home with the student and payment for the book is expected

The library is open from 7:20 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Students may check out books prior to the beginning of the school day, but must have the permission of their teacher and return to the classroom prior to announcements as mentioned above.

After library orientation is completed, students in grades 2-5 may check out 2 books at a time for a period of 2 weeks. Kindergarten & 1st grade students may check out one. 

If a student has an overdue book, they must come to the library to either return the book or check it out again. No new library books will be checked out to students having 2 overdue or lost books until they are returned.

Students may ask for a reserve on any title. Students should check the reserve cart next to the circulation desk to see if the reserved book is in. It will be held for 3 days. Books that are reserved may not be renewed.

Overdue notices will be sent to homeroom teachers every two weeks. Teachers: this is confidential information, so it will be delivered stapled and include the student's name on the outside. These should be sent home with students. Do not post these for others to see.

Please enjoy our media center often!
