• Students are expected to be respectful and considerate of others at all times.
• Four library books at a time is the number of books students may check out for three weeks.
• Library books are to be returned at the book drop or to the library desk.
• Students will pay the book replacement cost for lost or damaged books.
• Replacement cost of a hardback book is $25.50 and for a paperback book is $17.00.  Write checks to BRSSD.
• Computers are to be used for browsing the catalog and researching school projects.  
• Use the “quiet room” behavior for individual silent study, unless permission is granted by library staff.

Ralston Rams love the library and it shows! An average of 500 books monthly are checked out by our students from the school library. Your children, my students love books! They love the color, the feel and the pursuit of information they gain from reading books. This is because our Ralston parents instilled the love of reading at a very young age by reading bedtime stories. Job well done!

The Library is for Learning. What interests do you have?

Online Catalog

Look for the date of the first Monday of the week that your planned visit will be and follow the time slots to schedule your library visit.
