Each week during Innovation class your child will have an opportunity to check out books.
Book Checkout
- Kindergarten - 2nd Grade : Students will be able to check out 1 book. “When I bring back the book I checked out, I can check out another one the next time I have Innovation class.”
- 3rd- 5th Graders: Students will be able to check out 2 books. “When I bring back the book I checked out, I can check out another one the next time I have Innovation class.”
Check out period is 2 weeks.
Students who need more time to complete a book may renew it during their Innovation time. The book does need to be brought to me to be renewed.
Book return:
To make book return easy, a book drop box is located inside the Innovation Center. Books may be put there at any time during the school day. Classroom teachers also have a bin in their classroom where students place books that need to be returned to the Innovation Center .
Overdue books
A book becomes overdue after two weeks. We do not charge fines for overdue books. Students with an overdue book are not allowed to checkout another book until the overdue item has been returned. Overdue notices will be sent at least once a trimester. We do our best to properly check in books. If your child receives an overdue notice, and believes the book has been returned please have your child ask Mrs. Valiant to check the shelves again. Parents should also feel free to call or email me to check the library shelf for the missing book.
You can always verify the books your child has checked out by using your child's Chromebook username and password to Destiny Discovery, the district library management system. If you do not have your child's username or password please reach out to the homeroom teacher. Destiny Discover can be accessed on the Carver Chromebook landing page or the Carver Elementary website.
Lost & Damaged Books
Students who have lost or damaged a book will be expected to pay the replacement cost of the item. Since most of our books are special library bound books we ask that you do not purchase a replacement copy since trade bindings do not hold up to library use. Checks for the replacement cost can be made payable to District 112 and brought to the Innovation Center or the school office. If the book is found at a later date, the district will mail you a refund check.
