The Rappaport Library learning Center is staffed by one children's librarian and a volunteer library committee. It is open every day during the school year from 7:30 to 5:00. Students visit the library regularly to check out and return books and may also come at other times arranged by staff. Students in Kindergarten may check out one book at a time, for a period of one week. Students in first and second grades may check out two books at a time; students in third through eighth grade may check out up to five books at a time. Books may be borrowed for two weeks at a time(except
for Kindergarten), and may be renewed. Students with overdue, lost, or damaged books may not check out additional books until these are returned, paid for, or replaced. Reference books and other selected volumes do not circulate. These books are for student use on site only.
Homeroom teachers will receive overdue booklists regularly, and students will receive overdue reminders to take home. There are no overdue book fines, but replacement of books lost or damaged are the responsibility of the student who checked out the book. In addition there is a $5.00 processing fee for lost library books.
Students are expected to follow school guidelines for appropriate behavior and specific guidelines for library use, including the care and selection of books and attention to the library learning center environment. Donations of used books are accepted. All donations are evaluated by the school librarian and other staff. Materials we cannot use are given to the Marin County Public Library.
Students celebrate their birthdays by giving a book to the library in honor of the event. Some families and staff also choose to celebrate special events and people in their lives by giving a special book to the school library.
