The goals of the Bolin Library Media Center are to collaborate with teachers to support student learning within the classroom and to inspire a love of reading and life-long learning.

The LMC is open during regular school hours. Grades K-2 have a scheduled lesson and check out each week. Grades 3-6 have a scheduled lesson every two weeks. Students may visit the library individually or in small groups as needed with teacher permission. Our flexible schedule allows teachers and students to use the library at their time of need.

Checkout limits:

Kindergarten - 1 book for 2 weeks
First through Fourth Grade - 2 books for 2 weeks
Fifth and Sixth Grade - 3 books for 2 weeks

Overdue Fines:

Kindergarten - 6th Grade - no fines

Lost or Damaged Books:

Students will pay the cost of the book so that it can be replaced.
Please see the Lost and Damaged Books instructions in the next section.

Other Circulation Information:

Students may renew books (up to 2 times) at the library if they are not finished by the book's due date.
It is the responsibility of students to ensure their books are returned on time.
Students may visit the library individually with teacher permission to check books in and out.
