Jenks West Intermediate Circulation Policies
Jenks West Intermediate Media Center developed circulation guidelines and procedures to ensure fair access to information for all patrons.
Number of Items:
- Students may borrow two items at a time.
- If a student is enrolled in the after school double dose reading program, they may borrow four items at a time throughout the duration of the program.
- There is no limit to the number of items that a teacher may check out.
Loan periods:
- Students may borrow items for two weeks. Due dates are stamped on the inside of the book at check-out. Due dates are always on a day that school is in session, so occasionally; a student may have a book for a bit longer than a week.
- Reference materials may not be checked out by students, but teachers may check them out for classroom use at the discretion of the media staff.
- Teachers may keep items as long as needed for a class project, keeping in mind that other classes likely need access to the materials in a timely manner.
Holds:
- Mrs. Gillean or Mrs. McKinney are happy to put a book on hold for you and will notify you when it arrives.
- A student may have two items on hold at a time.
Renewals:
- Students may renew a book twice if it is not on hold by another student. If there is a hold on the book, it cannot be renewed.
Overdue Items:
- Overdue notices are sent to students each Thursday.
- Students will not be allowed to check out additional items until overdue items are returned.
- A letter will be sent to the parents of students that have a book overdue more than a month.
- Overdue fines are not charged.
Lost/Damaged Items:
- Students are expected to pay for the replacement of lost or damaged books or to replace the book itself.
- JWI charges $6 for missing/damaged paperbacks, $20 for hardbacks, and $40 for Playaways.
- Students will not be allowed to check out additional materials until they have made restitution for missing or damaged items.
- At the discretion of the librarian, a payment plan can be established.
