The Claremont High School Library contains over 20,000 fiction, non-fiction, biographies, and resource titles. These titles can be checked out to students for periods of two weeks at a time. Books can be renewed indefinately. A fine of $ .25 per day is charged for all items returned after the two week loan period. Unlike resource books there are no grace period days for library books. Library books must be renewed before the due date passes, in order to avoid a fine.
Students are responsible for all library materials checked out to them. This includes textbooks, resource books and library books, if the student loses a library book, the library will follow the lost textbook policy found in the Parent-Student Handbook on page 25. The student will pay the cost of the fine plus the cost of the book. The cost of the fine shall not exceed the cost of the book.
For example if a student loses a $20 library book and does not notify us that they lost it, the most a student would pay would be $40. The cost of the book and the fine as listed above.
