Hi,
I'm in a K-5 building.

·       How many books can be checked out at a time? K- one book, 1-5 can
have three.  Like everyone else if they need a book for a project it
doesn't count against them.

·       What is the maximum number of books that can be checked out
simultaneously? Three, plus any project books.

·       How long is the checkout period (e.g. 1 week, 2 weeks, undefined)?
The standard checkout length is two weeks, indefinite for project books or
class sets of novels.

·       How many times can a student renew a book?  Generally as many as is
needed.  After the initial renewal it does become a case by case basis
though.  If the book is on hold I won't renew it again, and for certain
students I would want to see the book before allowing the second renewal.

·       Do you allow a Hold to be put on a book?  Yes.
