Please read all instructions before signing up:
Volunteers should only sign up for 2 spots in order to give all families a chance to volunteer in the library. Multiple sign ups from the same families will be deleted. If you see after the first 3 weeks of school that others are not signing up then you may sign up for another slot. If you need to cancel your volunteer time please contact me at dwilliams@bfacademy.org as soon as you realize that you can’t make it. We realize that life happens so just shoot me a quick email or contact the front office and they will let me know.

Library Book Replacement & Fines
Due to special library binding, lost or damaged books must be fixed or purchased by the school and replaced through our district-approved vendor to ensure compatibility. Parents cannot order from the vendor directly—replacements must go through the school. Books purchased from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or other retailers (even library-bound editions) do not qualify. Parents cannot fix damaged books. By trying to repair the item yourself, you could be charged a “Home Repair” fee.
Important Guidelines:
- Do not send a purchased book as a replacement; it cannot be entered into our system.
- Do not try to repair a damaged book. We have specific archival materials if the book is repairable.
- Do not send cash, checks, or charge cards with your student. Fines will be added to their MSB account and should be paid via MSB.
- If a lost book is returned in good condition within 90 days and has not yet been replaced, the fee will be removed from the student’s account.
Some students may not realize the impact of losing or damaging a book, especially if we have multiple copies. However, popular books are in high demand, and we work hard to maintain our collection. We always attempt to repair books before assessing a fine, but some damage is beyond repair. On average, over 20 books per week need repairs, and we make every effort to avoid charging students.
Unpaid fines for damaged books after six weeks may result in your student being unable to check out books.
If a book is mistakenly returned to Douglas County Library (DCL), it will be sent back to BFA within 2–3 weeks. If you suspect this has happened, please email Ms. Williams , and she will note your student’s account so they can continue checking out books.
Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our library collection in great shape!
