 What are student borrowing privileges?

In kindergarten and first grade, a student can take out one book each cycle. Second through fifth grade, students can take out two books and one magazine each cycle.  Students can renew books as often as they need them.

 What is your overdue policy?

 A student can not borrow anything from the library if they have an overdue item.

 What happens if an item is lost or damaged?

 If this happens then there are two things that you can do. You can either pay for the item or replace it. We will send home a notice with the price of the book. We can only accept checks made out to Hauppauge Public Schools.  

What happens if I find the book after it’s paid for?

You have until the end of the current school year to get your money back. Please contact the library for more details.

 How do you go about ordering books, etc. for the library?

We are very choosy about the materials we order. All items have either been reviewed in a professional library journal, examined in person, or suggested by teachers. All items are purchased to enhance the students' love of reading, support our school's curriculum, and to enrich the library environment.
