SCHEDULE
The Maple Street School library is flexibly scheduled.  Students are welcome to use a pass from their classroom to come to the library at anytime during the school day as long as they have permission from their teacher.  They also will come in with their class or in small groups for stories, book talks, information literacy skill lessons, and to do research.

BORROWING INFORMATION  
Maple Street students may sign out as many books as they can be personally responsible for – most students choose three books or less.  Books are signed out for two weeks.  Books may be renewed as long as no one else has requested them.  The replacement cost of the book may be charged if a book is lost, or damaged beyond repair.  Use multimedia and online resources efficiently and effectively; including evaluating web resources and citing sources of information
