Borrowing
​​
Students are allowed to check out books 1 week at a time and can ask to renew the book if they are not finished. All books must be returned within 2 weeks of original check out so others have an opportunity to check them out. Certain high traffic books may have a 1 week check out period.
Lost/Damaged Books
​
Any lost or damaged books we ask you to notify the librarian right away so she can help search or repair the book. If the book is not found or repairable then the patron is responsible for replacing it by sending money for the replacement book to St. Edmond Library.
