Elementary School Library Rules

　　How many books are students allowed to borrow at once? Kindergarten and Grade One：Children are allowed to borrow one book a week．Grade Two and Up：Students in Grade Two and up are allowed to borrow two books a week．

　　How long is the loan? Books are loaned for about a week，however the school is on a 5-day cycle．Books are due on the cycle day．A book borrowed on Day 1 is due on the next Day 1，even if it is not the same day of the week．A book borrowed on Tuesday may be due on a Wednesday，if there is a holiday between when the book is borrowed and when it must be returned．

　　May I renew my book? Our computer system does not allow us to renew books，so they must be returned and checked out again．We ask students to return their books at the beginning of the day with their bookmark／library card inside and sticking out．We will check the book in and put it aside for the student to get when he returns with his class．

　　How much is the fine if I return a book late? There are no fines for children in grades K-6．However students who have an overdue book may not borrow another book．

If I have the right to borrow two books and I have returned one，may I take out another book?

If the book you have left at home is not yet overdue，you may take out another book．However，if it is overdue，you will not be allowed to take out another book．

What happens if I lose a book?

If you lose a book，we will give you time to look for it．

　　Some good places to look for books：

　　On your bookshelf，but placed upside down or backwards

　　In another basket in the classroom

　　Under a bed

　　Under a sofa or chair or cushion

　　Behind the couch

In your locker or school bag

　　If you can't find the book，we will ask you to pay for it．Since it will probably cost more to replace the book than we originally paid，we will charge you the full replacement cost，including tax and other costs．

　　It was the last day of final examinations at a large college．On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was ahout to begin．On their faces was confidence．This was their last exam before they graduated(毕业)and found jobs．

　　Some talked of jobs they already had，others of jobs they would get．With four years of college study，they felt ready and able to conquer(征服)the world．

　　The coming exam，they knew，would be easy．The professor(教授)had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted，but they couldn’t talk to each other during the test．

　　They walked into the classroom．The professor passed out the papers．The students’ smiles became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions．

　　Three hours passed and the exam came to an end．Then the professor began to collect the papers．The students no longer looked confident．They seemed worried．No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand．

　　She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked，“How many students completed all five questions?”

　　Not a hand was put up．

　　‘‘How many of you answered four?” Still no hands．

　　“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats．

　　“One，then．Certainly somebody finished one．”But the class stayed silent．The professor put down the papers．“That is just what I expected，”she said．

　　“I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know．Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class, I’ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom．You can’t expect to be an expert(专家)on the day you graduate．You have to learn as you go．”

　　Then，smiling, she added，“You will all pass this course, but remember that your education has just begun．’’
