What if I forget my library book?

If you forget your library book, don’t worry, you can borrow from the “Forgotten Library Book Shelf”

Lost or Damaged Books

If a student damages/loses a book a replacement will need to be purchased.  Parent’s  will receive an email with the replacement information.  Please select the "hard cover" option for the replacement book.  The replacement book may be shipped directly to school: 

Challenger  Elementary

 Attn: Megan Tefft

 1066 W Grand River Ave

 Howell, MI 48843 

If the book is not replaced then a fine will be placed on your student’s library account.  If not taken care of by 5th grade then the fine will be placed in PowerSchool.  Until the book is replaced student's may borrow a book from the "Forgotten Library Book Shelf".  If the book is still overdue after the inventory in the library is complete, then a letter will be mailed home with the replacement information for the book.  If the book is never replaced the fine will stay on the student's account as they advance throughout the district.
