Library Media Center

Mission Statement

Believing that the Library Media Center (LMC) is a fundamental part of the educational program of the schools of Indian Prairie School District #204, the mission of the LMC is to encourage, promote, and assist students and teachers to be effective users of ideas and information and to foster reading and use of a library for lifelong learning.

LMC Hours

The LMC is open every morning that school is in session at 9:00 when students are allowed to enter the building and closes at the end of each school day at 3:35. Flexible book checkout exists for student drop-ins and visiting classes.

Student Library Cards

Each student receives an individual library card. These cards are kept in the classrooms with teacher's responsible for management of the student cards. It is however, the responsibility of each student to maintain their card in good condition. The LMC staff must be notified immediately if a card is lost, found or damaged.

Lost, Damaged or Overdue Books

Overdue notices will be distributed by the LMC staff to students. These notices are then to be taken home by the student. If a student believes that he/she has returned the book, please refer them to the LMC staff. Students are expected to cover the cost of replacing a damaged or lost book. Replacement cost for a lost book will be requested after a search by the student and the LMC staff has taken place. Checkout privileges will be suspended until the replacement cost of a damaged or lost book has been received. If the lost book is later found reimbursement of the payment will be made.
