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.
