LIBRARY CARD 

A Travis Elementary Library Card is used for checking out books.
Each library card has a barcode that allows students and staff to check out books using the District’s automated checkout system.  These cards are kept in the library.

CHECKING OUT BOOKS

Books may be checked out for one week at a time.  Books may be rechecked.
  • Grades 2 – 5 may check out 2 books.
  • Grade 1 may check out 1 book .

 

DATE DUE CARDS

Each book should have in its pocket a colored date due card with the due date stamped.
The students room number should  be written beside the due date. 

The color of the card indicates the date the student comes to the library with his/her class.

LOST AND DAMAGED BOOKS

Lost Library Book

Each student is responsible for the book(s) checked out. 

If a book is lost, the student is responsible for paying for the lost book and losses the privilege of checking out another book. 

If the book is found, the money paid for the book is refunded minus .50 handling fee.  Once the book is found or paid for, the student may resume his/her check out privileges.

Damaged Book

If a student damages a book, the librarian will assess the cost of the damage to the book.

The student may resume checking out additional books once the damage fine is paid.

ONLINE PUBLIC ACCESS CATALOG (OPAC)


Travis’ library has Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC).  It is used instead of the card catalog file, although the file is still in the library.  Students and teachers may electronically check Travis’ library collection to see what resources are available  by using any computer on the Travis campus.  

To access OPAC:

  • Log on to the computer network, PATRON.  No password.  
  • Click on the Start button, go to Programs,
  • Click on Follett.
Once the OPAC windows opens, you may search the collection by title, author, subject and/or keywords.  Not only will you be able to see if the library has the item needed, but you will also be able to see if it is available, where it is located in the library,  and other pertinent information.
