Media Center

Here are a few things to know about the Oak View Media Center:

When is book check out?

Students may check out books during their weekly trip to the media center during their scheduled media specials time. Please check with your classroom teacher for the date and time of your weekly media specials.  

How many books may be checked out at one time?

All students may check out up to two books at any time.

When are books returned to the library?

Students may return books to the library at their regularly scheduled media specials visit. If there is a special circumstance, such as a student is leaving the school/district, all library materials and technology can be returned to their classroom teacher. 

Our library does not charge fees for overdue books; however, please remember other students may be wanting to borrow the same book.  Please be respectful and return books within two weeks after checking them out. You must return your previous checkouts before you can check out any new books in our collection. 

Sometimes mistakes do happen! If a student receives an overdue notice and believes the book has already been returned, please contact Mr. Martinez.  I normally ask the student to check in his/her desk, cubby, classroom, and at home.  I will also check the shelves for the book.  Also, be sure to check the date on the overdue notice to make sure it is a current notice.

What if a book is damaged?

If a book is damaged, please send it back to school with a note. Do not try to repair the book on your own, as we have special repair materials in the library to try to fix repairs.  If the book can be repaired, it will be returned to the shelf and no fee will be charged.
