Book checkout policies
Library books and magazines are due in two weeks. They can be renewed, unless they are on hold.
Overdue books and good standing
Overdue notices are sent weekly to student CRCSD email account. Ask Mrs. Kruse if you don’t know how to access this account.
Students with one overdue book are still in good standing, and can continue to check out books.
Students with two or more overdue books need to work to return to good standing, and can borrow an honor book from Mrs. Kruse.
Honor books are books that Mrs. Kruse has personally purchased to allow all students to always have a book in hand. Students who have books that they would like to donate to the honor book collection can talk to Mrs. Kruse. Please return honor books and overdue books in a timely manner.
Overdue fines are not charged; however, lost or damaged books need to be paid for by students. If you are unable to pay for your lost or damaged book, talk to Mrs. Kruse about volunteering. Please do not throw away books, always return them and let a librarian decide if the book is still usable.
Student library ambassadors
Mrs. Kruse is always looking for students to help after school with shelving books and keeping the blended learning lab organized. See Mrs. Kruse for the application, if you are interested and available. Library ambassadors generally work Mondays, Wednesdays, and/or Thursday from 2:50 to 3:30 p.m.
