Library & Media Center

Woodbury Elementary School’s media center is a vibrant hub for learning. It consists of a well-curated library, four innovation STEAM labs, and collaborative maker spaces. Our students have access to a world of adventure, an incredible amount of information, and stories that capture their attention and inspire their thinking!

We have many exciting things happening in our media center and many resources available to our students and staff. Please take a look around and peruse through our website information. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our media center staff or your child’s teacher.

The library is available for students to check out books weekly during their teacher's scheduled class time.
Students are allowed to check out 1-3 books per week (depending on their grade level).
- Pre-K, K & 1st: 1 book a week
- 2nd & 3rd: 2 books a week
- 4th, 5th & 6th: 3 books a week
Students can keep their books for a 3 week check out period.
Students will not be allowed to check out new books once they reach 6 books total on their account.
Students can access their library account to check on the status of their books, and due dates on Destiny Discover. For instructions see the "Accessing Student Account" tab on the Library & Media Center home page.

There are no fines for overdue books.
Overdue books are automatically marked "lost" in the system when it's been overdue for more than 30 days.
Students will not be allowed to check out new books if they have a "lost" book on their account. Students may resume check out once the "lost" book has been returned/replaced/paid for.
Books can still be returned even if they are marked "lost" (this will restore their active status).
If a student damages a book, the book will be marked "lost" on their account and a fine will be assessed. the student is responsible for paying for or replacing the damaged book.

Payment or replacement options are as follows:

You can replace the book (it must be in same format as one lost. Ex. hardcover book must be replaced with another hardcover)
You can send cash directly to the library. (through your child’s teacher or your student)
You can pay in the front office (just let them know your child’s name and that payment is for a lost library book)

*Or you can pay online at My School Bucks (you have to set up an account for Woodbury)

Q: I received a notice from the library that my child has an overdue book, but it was turned in to their teacher's class bin. Why am I getting this notice?

A: Most teacher's have a classroom bin to collect library books to be returned. Those books do not get checked back in until the teacher returns them to the library. (Ex. a student turns in a book on Friday, but the teacher doesn't return the bin of books until Tuesday of the following week, the books will not be taken off the student's account until the books are brought from the classroom to the library.) Check with the teacher to see what day their scheduled library time falls on.

Q: I received a notice from the library that my child has an overdue book.

A: The notices emailed out are automated and sent by the computer system. The Librarians know there are nuances to books not getting returned. For this reason there are no fines for overdue books. Fines are only given when a book has been marked "lost" and that happens after a book has been overdue for more than 30 days.

Q: I received an overdue notice and we are on a scheduled vacation break.

A: The notices emailed out are automated and sent by the computer system. It doesn't realize we are break. As written above, the Librarians know there are nuances and realize we are on break. The matter can be settled when we return to campus. I encourage students to renew books before break, but if for any reason they weren't able to, they can always email the Librarian (jennalang@isud.org) and I can renew their book (most times I am able to renew the books without them being there in person).

Q: Does the Library take book donations?

A: Yes! We always welcome book donations. We will take any gently used books your child has outgrown. They can deliver them directly to the library/media center or drop them in the front office.

We also have a Birthday Book Club, if you'd like to donate a book to library for your child's birthday.
