Second through Sixth graders may check out 2 items at a time from the library. **Circulation** All books are due in1 week DVD's, magazines, CD's are due in 1 week Reference books may be checked out with special permission

Holds
Students may request holds on materials that are currently checked out by another patron. When that item becomes available the student will be notified. They have seven days to check out the reserved items. If the student does not pick up their hold within seven days, it will either go to the next student on the list or be returned to the normal stacks. Students with outstanding fines or overdue items will not be able to pick up holds until all previous check-out issues are resolved.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
Student's may request items from the Illinois library system through our library. These items can be of personal interest or for school work. However, items of inappropriate material that would not normally be housed in our library will not be granted (ie: a request for Harry Potter books will not be made). The school librarian retains the right to deny a request based on content.ILL requests can take a week to ten days to be received and is dependent on demand across the state and whether the book is available for lending.

Overdue books or fines
No additional materials can be checked out to students who have outstanding overdue books or fines. This would include novels and materials needed for classroom work. After 30 days overdue, the book will be considered lost and assessed the "Lost Book" fees (see below) **Secondary Library**
