Library Policies Checkouts: K-2 student patrons may check out 1 book at a time (grade 2 will increase to 2 books after winter vacation). 3-6 student patrons may check out 2 books at a time (exceptions will be made at Mr. B.'s discretion for class assignments). Students with 1 book overdue by a month may not check out a second book.

//**Due Dates:**// Materials are due on Library Day (see below), generally one week from check out.

//**Overdues:**// There are no fines for elementary student for overdue books, but responsibility and courtesy are encouraged.

//**Lost/Damaged Books:**// We charge for lost books to replace them, not as a punishment. If the replacement cost is a hardship, please contact me to talk about accomodations. I am happy to come up with an alternative arrangement! Please contact me at: barlowc@stratfordk12.org, send a note with your child, or leave a message, 203-385-4190.
