Students may also check out at other times if the need arises. Students in Kindergarten-3rd grade are permitted to check out one book at a time. Students in 4th-5th grades are permitted to check out two books at a time. Books should be returned after one week. Any lost or damaged books must be paid for.
Teachers may check out books and keep them up to 90 days. Videos may be checked out and kept for two days.

Each year our library sponsors an author or illustrator visit. Authors K. Melissa Burton, Tim Smith (Buck Wilder), and Sharon Burch have been to Layne to share their craft with our students. Most recently, illustrator Michael P. White came to Layne to share his airbrush technique for creating illustrations for books like The Library Dragon and The Secret of Old Zeb.
Students are encouraged to participate in the Louisville Free Public Library's Summer Reading Program each year.
