The First Program Library is a place where students can explore their reading interests and develop a love of reading. Students visit the library during a scheduled library class each week to read, borrow books, and learn information skills. In addition, many teachers take their students to the library to return and borrow books more than once a week, and students can visit the library any time during regular school hours with permission from their teacher.
As of August 2019, there are over 10,000 books and other materials in the FP Library and we are continuing to grow. We use the Destiny Library Manager system from Follett and you can search our online catalog anytime to see what is in the library. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Library Policies
Borrowing Books: Students may borrow up to two books at a time for a period of two weeks. Books must be brought to the library in order to be renewed.
Overdue Books: Students who have overdue books may not borrow additional books from the library until the overdue books are returned. If students have not returned the borrowed items by the end of a term, their report cards will be held by the school until the student either returns or replaces the item.
Lost or Damaged Books: Students who lose or damage a library book will be responsible for the cost of replacing the book (the current cost of the book plus any shipping fees). Alternatively, if a replacement copy is unavailable, the student may be charged for the original cost of the book (if known) or an estimated value of the book. In addition, a processing fee of 10,000 won will be assessed for the time and materials involved in billing the patron, re-ordering the book, and processing the replacement book. If the cost of replacing the book is in a foreign currency, it will be converted to Korean won at the current exchange rate. Payment should be made to Cheongna Dalton School within 30 days of receiving an invoice for a lost or damaged book.
CDS Library Folders: The CDS library folder (given to students on their first day of school) is required to borrow books. Students should use this folder to take their library books home and bring them back to school. If a folder is lost, a replacement can be purchased from CDS for 5,000 won.
