Book Checkout & Return
We never deny a student a book, regardless of interest, reading ability, or maturity level. Parents can enforce checkout limits and requirements with their own student, but the library does not interfere with a student's choices when checking out.
How many books can I check out?
- Students are allowed to check out as many books as they can responsibly care for. For some students, that may be one book; for others, it may be ten.
- We encourage students to learn for themselves what they can handle.
How long can I keep the books that I checked out?
- Books and other materials are stamped with the due date, which is three weeksfrom the date of check out.
- Students are welcome to renewitems unless another student has that book on hold.
- If a book is already checked out by someone else, students can place a hold. When the book is returned, the library will deliver the book to the next student in line.
What happens if a book is late or lost?
- We do not charge fines for overdue materials.
- Students are responsible for returning their items by the due date.
- Students should regularly check their Destiny and Gmail accounts to monitor their own checkouts.
- Sometimes bad things happen to good books! If a book has been lost or damaged, we ask that the student come speak to us directly so that we can discuss ways to prevent the loss or damage in future.
- We do not bill for lost or damaged books. HOWEVER we are happy to accept a new copy of the book or funds to replace the book.
What kind of resources are available online?
- Students are welcome to use databases purchased centrally by Fairfax County.
- Students have access to eBooks, audiobooks, and comicsusing MackinVia. Find the link at the top of the screen in Destiny Discover.
How do I find books that I might like to read?
- Browse our bookshelves.
- Look through the Visual Book Lists on our Google Site .
