Our Library

The library at St. Rose Philippine Duchesne School owns approximately 20,000 items that are catalogued using an automated barcode system for check out.

The library is open Monday - Friday from 8:00 - 3:00. Each classroom visits the library once weekly.

Students are allowed to check out two books per visit. Checking out books is a privilege. Books can be kept for one week and need to be returned on time. A student will not be allowed to check out more books until the previous books are returned. If a student is not done reading a book and wants to keep it for another week, they will need to bring it with them on their designated library day and check the book out again.

Overdue Policy

Overdue notices are sent out each Friday. No daily overdue fees are assessed. If your child receives a notice, please encourage them to locate the book and return it to the library as soon as possible. If your child insists that the book has been returned, ask them to see a librarian. We will search the library. Occasionally, books are shelved without being returned properly.

Once a book is overdue 30 days, your child will be suspended from borrowing privileges. The replacement amount of the book will be added to the next overdue notice. It is then the family’s responsibility to have the book returned (which is what we prefer) or pay the replacement fee. Please send the replacement fee (cash or check) to the school office in an envelope marked “library fees”. Please include the overdue notice or child’s name and title of book.
