I missed textbook distribution
Students must schedule a pickup time. Please see the Textbook Pickup Schedule to request a pickup time. Pickup is unattended at the library main entrance.

I came to get books but I don't have any to pick up
Beginning Monday, April 5, the school is issuing books for Quarter 4. This includes seniors taking Economics or Government in Quarter 4, as well as students in English classes with new books for Quarter 4. Students with overdue items from Quarter 1, 2, or earlier must return these items first to be issued a new book. If you have returned all overdue books, please request a pickup time at the Textbook Pickup Schedule. If you have a different textbook question, please send an email to "Davis Senior High School Library" <dshslibrary@djusd.net> and the Library will follow up with you.

I had a schedule change and need the new book
Here are the steps a student needs to take:
  1. Please contact your counselor and inform them you do not have the correct book and confirm that the class was changed in your schedule.
  2. The counselor will notify V.P. Nero and our library staff of the change.
  3. The library staff will prepare the requested textbook  and send you an email confirmation when you can pick up your book at the current textbook distribution location.
We are working as quickly as possible. Providing your book the same day is not a realistic expectation. Please allow up to 2 days to receive your confirmation email to pick up from the day you notify your counselor. Please return books from any classes you have dropped. We appreciate your patience.

I got the wrong book or did not get a book at all
This student should email the library right away at  "Davis Senior High School Library" <dshslibrary@djusd.net> and Library will follow up with them.

Students under no circumstance should walk up to the library to inform of changes and expect a book immediately. If you have any questions or concerns please contact V.P. Nina Nero nnero@djusd.net.

Book Return

You may return textbooks and library books to the library drop bin located next to the entrance of the main office/admin building.

If you have questions or concerns regarding textbooks, or fines for missing or damaged items, please send an email message to dshslibrary@djusd.net or call the library at (530) 757-5400 extension 181.  Thank you.

How do I pay for fines?
We do not assess fines for items merely overdue. Fines are assessed for missing or damaged items only.

Fines may be paid online at the Blue Devil Online Store. Select "Library" under "Product Categories", click on the lost & damaged books image and enter the amount of the fine(s), the student's name and the student's ID number. The fine amount field is labeled "Donation Amount." Yes, we know it's not a "donation," but we can't change the name of the field.

Due to COVID protocols, we are currently unable to accept cash payments.
Fines may also be paid by check. Please include the student ID number in the memo line, and make the check payable to Davis Senior High School. Mail the check to:

Davis Senior High School

attn: Textbook Room

315 W 14th Street

Davis, CA 95616

We will not collect payment for fines during textbook distribution events.


How do I challenge a fine?
Send an email message to dshslibrary@djsud.net with the details and circumstances of the fine. Please include the student's name and ID number. The fine may remain, be reduced, or be waived, depending upon our investigation.

I lost a book--how much does it cost/can I buy a replacement?
If you know the book in question is indeed lost, or damaged beyond repair, please contact dshslibrary@djusd.net for payment or replacement options. Be sure to include details from the "Fine and Overdue Message" in your inquiry.

What if I have other questions?
Please contact the library staff at dshslibrary@djusd.net. Or you may leave a phone message at the library desk, (530) 757-5400 extension 181.
