What if I lost my library book?
Students will need to pay for lost library books. Make sure you search your home, car, locker, etc thoroughly before coming to pay for the book. The actual cost of the book will be charged. If this will present a financial hardship on your family, please come talk to Ms. Toquinto.

What if I paid for a lost library book and now I've found it?
It is possible to receive a refund for a book that has been paid for IF it is within the same school year. It will take several weeks because the request has to go through the District. If it is a different school year, you will not be able to receive a refund.

How many books can be checked out?
Students are allowed to check out three items at a time.  Parents may check out as many books as they need.

When can students visit the library?
The Truman Library is open before school at 7:40 and after school until 3:10.  Books can be checked out during the school day with the teacher's permission and after class library lessons.

What percent do we get from the Book Fair?
We get 50% if we take it in books from the fair and from the Scholastic Catalog.  We get 25% if we take it in cash.  We do a combination of the two.    

How do you spend the money earned through the Book Fair?
We use some of it to bring in authors, like David Schwartz that inspire the kids.  We also buy books for the library.  We buy different technology items for use in the library and for check out to be used in the school.   Incentives are also bought for Reading Challenges and other promotions.
