Classroom collections policy

1. Collections of up to 35 pieces may be borrowed for a 28-day period with one 28-day renewal, checked out on the teacher’s library card.
2. Video/DVDs, audiobooks, holiday and new books may be included but follow their own limits (see the table above).
3. Teachers are encouraged to select collections themselves; adult and children’s books may both be included. Personal books do not count toward the 35.
4. Staff will assemble collections on request — in person with the form below, by calling (740) 924-3561, or by emailing Jennifer Shaw. Staff need your name, grade, subject, number of books, fiction/non-fiction preference, and whether to borrow from other libraries.
5. Requests must be made at least two weeks before pickup; allow more time for materials from partner libraries. Saturday requests may not be ready until Thursday. Collections not picked up within one week are re-shelved.
6. If students need materials on specific subjects during a visit, let staff know whether to pull a selection or help students find it on the shelf. Please don’t deplete the library’s resources and then send students for help on class visits or after school.
7. The teacher is responsible for all items and for fines or replacement costs for lost or damaged materials.
8. Late notices are sent to all patrons by mail or email.
9. Borrowers are responsible for renewing items with staff or online.
10. Printed collection lists are provided with each collection.
