School Library Policies

Each class comes to library every 2 weeks
Library books should be returned every 2 weeks or renewed (if still reading)
Return books to classroom return bins or return tubs located near Library
No fines for overdue books (only pay for lost or damaged books)
Parents/Guardians can see their child’s library account on The Source. There are no fines for late/overdue books but we do ask families to pay to replace books that are lost – this is most easily done through SchoolPay after logging in to the Source.

Global Reading Challenge

The Global Reading Challenge is a reading incentive program for 4th and 5th graders enrolled in Seattle Public Schools. Students form teams and read selected books, then take part in a trivia competition.
