O.H. Somers Library
2014-2015
What "Dewey" do at the library?
Checking Out Books
- Kindergarten and first graders check out one book when they come to the library each week. The book must be returned before being allowed to check out another book. Your student won't be charged overdue fines, unless an item becomes lost.
- Second graders can check out two books when they come to the library each week. No more than two books can be checked out at any given time. Your student won't be charged overdue fines, unless an item becomes lost.
- Third graders can check out two books for two weeks. Your student won't be charged overdue fines, unless an item becomes lost.
- Fourth, fifth, and sixth graders can check out two books for two weeks and one magazine for one week. If an item is not returned by the due date, the student will be charged a late fee of $0.05/school day.
If any item is lost, we will charge for the replacement cost of the book and processing fees.
But my child says the book was returned!?!

Library Birthday Club: How does it work?
The Library Birthday Club is a way to recognize your child's birthday in a special way, while also supporting the school library.
There are several options available for participation:
1. You can make a $10 cash donation to pick a pre-purchased book. Donations and selections can be made at any point in the school year.
2. You can purchase an item from the O.H. Somers Library Book Club Wish List on Amazon and bring it to the library.
3. You may purchase a book of your own choosing. If you purchase a new book not on the wishlist provided, all books donated are subject to approval, based on appropriate content and subject matter.
The book will be delivered to your child's room on his/her birthday, or half birthday. Your child will be the first person to check the book out. A nameplate honoring your child will be placed in the book.
