Tregaron Library Program

Borrowing Policies

Borrowing Library Materials

All currently enrolled students and employed faculty/staff at Washington International School have borrowing privileges for the Washington International School libraries and the District of Columbia Public Library.

All students are encouraged to use and borrow Tregaron Library materials. To ensure fair access to the collection for all, the student loan period for materials is two cycles. Students may renew items as long as no one else has placed a hold on the item.

Overdue and Lost Materials

Students are notified of overdue materials verbally and in writing. If outstanding materials are not returned, parents are informed of missing materials and the cost of replacing those materials. If library materials are still not returned, they are considered lost, and borrowers are asked to pay for their replacement (the book cost, plus $10 for processing). Lost book fees are added to the family's tuition bill.

Borrowing Technology

Video equipment (tripods, cameras, microphones) is available for checkout to staff and students at the discretion of the Assistant Director of Academic Technology.

Media Technology equipment (laptops, keyboards, DVD drives, etc.) is available for check out to staff at the discretion of the Director of Information Technology. Students may request long-term loans with permission from their division's assistant principal.
