Library Policies

King Elementary Library Policies

Who Works in the Library?

Our school library is supported by a dedicated team: Mrs. Katie Burrill, our certified teacher librarian, and Ms. Rochelle Eaddy, our library clerk. Mrs. Burrill teaches the library “special” to all Y5-5th grade classes and oversees the management of our library collection. Ms. Eaddy processes new books, adds them to our catalog, and provides library support. This year, she is at King on Wednesday and Thursday mornings..

Destiny Discover

Destiny Discover is the online catalog where students learn to search our print collection and check their library accounts.  Learn more here: How to Use Destiny Discover

Borrowing Books

Students begin the school year borrowing one book and then up to the following number of books per week: 

  • Young 5's-K: 1 item
  • Grade 1-2: 2 items 
  • Grades 3-5: 3 items

Students are welcome to take home books they borrowed from the school library.  They have the opportunity to borrow new books on a weekly basis during their scheduled library time.  

The library is open during the school day for students to borrow and return books as needed.  

Book Care

  • One of the skills we emphasize and practice in library class is respect for our resources.
  • Create a special place in your home to keep library books.
  • Keep food and drinks away from library books.
  • Report any damaged or lost books to Mrs. Burrill.
  • Use a bookmark to save your spot.

Overdue Notices

Overdue notices will be emailed to families for students who have overdue books.  Please help your child practice responsibility by making it a routine to return their library books.

Lost and Damaged Books

If a book is damaged or lost, please let Mrs. Burrill know so it can be marked accordingly in our catalog.  A donated book in good condition, a new replacement copy, or a donation of funds to replace a lost or damaged item is appreciated in order to maintain our collection.
