Welcome to the Media Center
Orange County Public Schools' library media programs are the hub of our schools and provide equitable access to resources that engage students in learning. Through promoting reading appreciation, teaching digital and information literacy skills, facilitating inquiry through both independent and collaborative learning, library media programs contribute to ensuring that every student has a promising and successful future.

Checkout Policies
Students may check out up to 2 books at a time for 2 weeks. Students may renew most titles* for an additional 2 weeks if they bring the book in to the media center to be scanned.
Late fees are never charged. If a book has not been returned after 30 days of being overdue it will be marked lost. Lost books may still be returned without any fee being applied. If a student is unable to locate the book, it will need to be paid for so a replacement can be purchased by the media specialist.
Books damaged badly enough that it can no longer be circulated will have a replacement fee assessed.
Lost or damaged books can be paid for at https://www.schoolpay.com/link/VPElibraryfines. Please see the lost or damaged notice sent home for the amount owed.
*Sunshine State books and Graphic Novels are unable to be renewed as they are in high demand.
