Circulation Policies

EMS Students can check out 2 books at a time for personal enjoyment. If books are required for a class, they can get permission to check out additional titles.

Books are checked out for two weeks at a time and can be renewed unless the title has a hold on it from another student.

The individual checking out a book will be responsible for returning the book in good condition. The cost of replacement will be assessed for lost or damaged books. If a student fails to take responsibility for lost or damaged books, library privileges may be restricted or revoked.

If a student has overdue books, the individual will not be able to check out until the book is renewed or returned.

A book can only be renewed if the student has it with them.

All library materials will be due back by Wednesday, May 14, 2025.

* Fines collected will be used to benefit the students, through the purchase of replacement books, reading promotions, and other library materials.

Kansas Library eCard

This is the card for Kansans that can be obtained at any public, school, or academic library in Kansas. It provides access to digital materials available to all Kansas residents (ebooks/audiobooks, research databases). It is not so much a "card" as it is a login for online materials. (No card is needed for use of the databases).

For more information, visit the library or contact us at emslibrary@usd253.net!

BreakoutEDU

EMS teachers and students have access to the Breakout EDU database. You can choose from the ready-made puzzles or create your own! If you have not tried this out in your classroom, you are missing out!
