Bookmobile

The Parkland Library offers public library services to students of Oak River School by way of a ‘Bookmobile’ – a library on wheels. The Bookmobile visits the school approximately once a month. The date of the next visit will be published in school newsletters. It is the responsibility of the student to choose appropriate materials and return materials by the next Bookmobile visit to the school. Students/parents are responsible for any charges assessed for lost books. Bookmobile drop boxes are located in the office.

Library

Each student receives lending privileges for a maximum of TWO BOOKS at one time. Loan periods are as follows:

• 3 school days - non-fiction & periodicals
• 2 weeks – fiction

*General reference materials (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.) are not to be removed from the library without the librarian’s permission.

Names of those with overdue books will be posted on the overdue board inside the library. It is library policy that lost and damaged books be paid for by the student – the cost being determined by the school.
