    Knapp Library Book Check Out Procedures
    Most materials from the library collection check out for one week and may be renewed for one week. Students are allowed to check out from 1-4 items depending on their grade level. Students, with their teacher’s permission, may return during the week to check out new materials.  Students who have an overdue book are not allowed to check out new materials until the book is returned or paid for by the family. If a family would like to pay for a book in installments or would like to make other arrangements, please call Mrs. Diane Newman, at 873-2090, ext. 6408.

    Knapp participates in the Picture Book program in grades K-3 and the Intermediate program for grades 4-5.  In the K-3 program all students participate by listening to the stories read aloud. Students in grades 4-5 read the books independently or have the books read to them.  Children in 4th-5th grades earn various incentives for participating. Students who have read all 20 Hoosier Books receive a T-Shirt and have their picture displayed on the Knapp Library Hoosier Wall of Fame.  Check out the Hoosier Book site to learn more about the program.
