classroom. Students have library class one day per week for 40 minutes.
Students are allowed to check out one book at a time. Books may be exchanged from

charge fines for late books; however, books that are damaged or lost must be paid
for. In addition to books, the library has an extensive collection of reference
materials. APS also subscribes to 14 magazines for children and 15 professional
magazines for teachers and parents.
