Kindergarten :

Kindergarten does not check out at the library. However, every two weeks the library will be bringing some delightful new books to each kindergarten classroom for students to use at school. If library books are desired at home, parents may come to the library to check out up to 10 books. An older sibling will also be allowed to check out one book for a younger kindergarten student. The older sibling must keep the book in their possession until they are home. Kindergarten students are not allowed to take books home from the school.

M-F during the recess portion of middle school lunch. Students who come to the library should remain in the library during the entire recess time period. Students are not allowed in the hallways during lunch.

Lost Book:

If your child cannot find their book you should renew the book when it is due - this will give you at least two extra weeks to find it.

When a book has been renewed once and still cannot be found, your child will not be able to checkout until the lost book is returned or paid for (see section below about "Paying for Lost and Damaged Items"). Paying for the book will enable your child to resume checkout privileges.

Damaged Book:

If a book is damaged, return it to the library so we can determine the extent of the damage.  Sometimes damage is minimal or can be easily repaired and will not result in any fees. 

Please DO NOT make repairs to library books.  We use special tape and have specific techniques to repair books.  Repairs at home, such as taping torn pages or pages that have entirely come out of the book can actually cause more damage. Please let the library make all repairs.  We usually do not assess fees for old books that fall apart, regular wear and tear, pages that come out, or for rips and tears.  

The replacement price of each book is determined by calculating the list price of book (the price of the book when it is not on sale) + $3 for library materials used to get the book ready for checkout such as book covers, stickers, tape, etc.  There are four ways to replace a book.  

Cash: 

send cash in a sealed envelope and deliver to the classroom teacher or to the library - Please include your child's full name and that the cash is for a lost/damaged book.

Check: 

Send a check with your child and deliver to the classroom teacher or to the library. You may also mail a check to: Reagan Academy Library, 1143 West Center Street, Springville, UT 84663. Please indicate on the check your child's full name and that the check is for a lost/damaged book. Checks should be made payable to Reagan Academy.

Credit Card:  

You may only use a credit card at the front office and the card must be present.  There is a small additional charge for credit card usage.  Please tell the front desk that the payment is for a lost/damaged library book and tell them your child's name. Please be aware that the front desk is not allowed to take credit card payments over the phone.

*Self Replacement (Saves you money):

Because the library cannot control fluctuating book prices, we must charge the list price for each book (the price of the book when it is not on sale).  Often, you might find a replacement book for a better price than what we list. If you choose to replace the book yourself, we waive the extra $3 fee for library materials because of the time and effort it saves us in locating/reordering the book. Please note, if you choose this option and the missing book is later found and returned to the library, we cannot issue a refund. In addition, replacement books must be in "very good" condition or "like new," and should be in the same format as the lost or damaged book, for example, please replace a hardcover book with a hardcover book. Return the replacement book to the library with a sticky note on the cover (or insert a paper sticking out) that lists your child's name and that the book is a replacement book. Please write the note before you put it on or in the book. Do not write the note on the book, as this indents the cover and or pages.

* If you replace a book that later comes back to the library, we cannot issue a refund.
