Library Policy

St. Matthew School Library is open all weekday mornings for student visits and class lessons.  Library instruction maintains an important place in the curriculum; each class is scheduled to visit the library once a week.

All books borrowed from the library must be signed out by a librarian or an aide.  All books must be returned within the prescribed time.  A fee is charged for overdue books. Fees must be paid. If a book is lost, destroyed or damaged, the student responsible for it must pay the present cost of the book. Library money will be applied toward the purchase of new books.

Students wishing to use the library for reference work must make arrangements with his/her teacher and our librarian.
