Welcome to the St. Ignatius Library!
The library consists
of almost,8000 books in both the fiction and nonfiction
categories, as well as software, movies, and music. In
recent years the library has seen extensive renovations,
including new shelves, tables, chairs, and the creation
of a complete electronic catalogue, making it easier
than ever to find the books you need!
Parent Volunteers/Parent Hours
Mrs. Petek is always looking for parent volunteers to
participate as library aides during school hours. This is a
great way to fulfill your parent hours and get to know your
child’s classmates! If your child’s library time is not
convenient, you are welcome to work during another class’s
library time. Please refer to the library schedule featured
on this website, then contact Mrs. Petek.

Library Policies
At this time, the maximum number of books your child may
have checked out at one time is limited by grade level.
• TK-2nd – two books.
• 3rd-5th – three books.
• 6th-8th – four books.
Each book is checked out for 21 days, and can be renewed
twice. There are no fines.
In the event that a book is missing, you will receive an
overdue notice via your child. Your options are:
• Return the book to the library
• Send the library a replacement copy. Please include a note
with your child’s name and indicate that it is a replacement
copy for a lost book.
• Send the replacement cost (cash or check) in an envelope
to the school office. Please mark the envelope “LIBRARY,” include
your child’s name, and indicate that it is payment for a
lost book. If the book is found, you may request a refund.
Book Donations
We are always happy to accept your used book donations.
Books may be dropped off at the school office or library.
Books that are not needed for the library or classrooms are
donated to charity, usually St. Vincent de Paul or the SPCA
.
We also
love donations of age appropriate videos/DVDs (G and PG
rated), music CDs, computer software, and video games. The
children will be able to check out these items. Also, the
library can use CDs of quiet, soothing music to be played
during library time.
If you wish to donate or contribute new books, please see
the “Friends of the St. Ignatius School Library” website,
which can be found at:
