The Lake Elkhorn Middle School media center is happy to bring you contactless book pick-up! Students can simply request a book (or ask for a recommendation) using the LEMS Media Book Request form and wait for us to email you when it's ready. 

We are now able to offer book pick-up every day from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., right next to the Lake Elkhorn entrance at the front of the building.  There will be no building access during book pick-up or drop-off, and all CDC guidelines must be followed at all times.

How can I browse the books?

Use the Lake Elkhorn Public Access Catalog to search for books or to virtually browse the shelf.

What if I don't know what book I want?

Ask us to give you a recommendation! Tell us the name of another book or author you liked, or ask us for a book about a specific topic.

How can I reserve a book?

When you know the name of the book(s) you want, fill out this form: LEMS Media Book Request.

How will I know when my book is ready?

We will email you with the preferred email you entered in the book request form.

When can I pick up my book?

Pickup times will be every day from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

What if I can't get to the school during this time?

We are looking into additional pickup times. You may also give a friend permission to pick up your book, as long as you let us know.

Where will I pick-up my book?

Outside, at the front of the school, next to the Lake Elkhorn entrance. Entering school is not permitted. If you need assistance, email Mr. Howse or Mrs. Williams at Daniel_Howse@hcpss.org or Charlene_Williams@hcpss.org. All CDC guidelines must be followed when picking up (or returning) books, including wearing a mask and social distancing.

How will I find my book?

There will be a cart/bin of books with student names attached to them. Find your name and take your book(s). Please show respect by not touching other books.

How will I return books?

There will be a book return cart/bin in the same area as the book pick-up

Can I come inside Lake Elkhorn to browse books, ask a question, or for any other reason?

There will be no access to the inside of Lake Elkhorn for any reason.  Thank you for understanding.
