Lending Policy
Students visit the library once a week for 50 minutes. They are allowed to check out two books each week. We do not charge for overdue books. However, a student who has borrowed books will not be allowed to check out another item until outstanding books have been returned.
If a book cannot be located after a complete search, then it can be replaced by check payable to Brown Elementary. The price will depend upon the age and condition of the book.
Birthday Club
We had such a great response to our Birthday Book Club that we will continue with the club this year. A list will come home with book titles that you can purchase. A bookplate with your child's name will be in the front of the book. Your child will be the first student get to check out the book. This is a great way to honor your child by purchasing a book for our library!
AR Color Code
