Questions About Library Accounts

Where do I return stuff?

The library has a Drop Box in the 6th Grade House, Outside both Library Doors and a Bin inside the Library. Students have access to dropping off items all day.

Please do not put technology items in the drop boxes; instead, hand them to a library staff member for check-in.

I have a library book that I am being charged for as "lost," but I still have it. Can I return it instead of paying for it?

Yes, please do! Drop it off in one of the library return bins, and it will be removed from your fines.

How do I pay a fine?

Cash or check payments are taken in the library at the main desk. Checks can be made out to “ECASD.”

If you'd like to pay with a card, please log into your My School Bucks (lunch) account and pay for it there. That account will sync with the fines in your library account. Need Help with My School Bucks? Click Here

What about paying for a tech fine?

That is also through the library or My School Bucks, with the same steps as above.

What happens if I don't pay a fine?

The fine stays on your account until it is taken care of, and it may limit your ability to check out additional items from the library.

It is also emailed to your family and shows in your My School Bucks (lunch and school fees) account.

What if my family is unable to pay the fine?

If payment is a significant hardship for your family, please reach out to your school principal, and they will help you problem-solve a solution. The Library staff cannot remove Tech fines without approval from the principal.
