Library Guidelines

General Policies

Food

  • When it comes to food, books hate it, bugs and mice love it.  Unless the librarian has a special event going on, NO FOOD in the libraries,

Cell Phones

  • Just like all other classes, there is no cell phone use during the school day while in the library.

  • If you are there for a class or for study hall, cell phones are expected to be in the phone holder.

Hours

  • The library is available for use 7:30am-3:00pm during school hours.  

  • If you need to use the space outside the regular hours, please let the librarian know. 

Lending Policies

Borrowing

  • Student's account must be in good standing to borrow. 

  • Books check out for a period of 4 weeks and incur a late fee if returned after due date. 

  • Books from other libraries might have another due date set by the lending library.  This will be noted on your check out slip.

Renewing

  • Items may be renewed 2 times if the items are not overdue and there are no requests for them.

  • You may renew through SHARE with your library card information or ask the librarian for help.  

Interlibrary Loan

  • If there is a book we do not have, we can get it from another library.

  • Once you find the book through our Library Catalog, you can place a request with your library number and pin.

  • You will be notified via email once your book arrives.  

  • You can also borrow movies from other libraries as well. 

Conduct
This can be summed up in one word "RESPECT"
 

Respect for Others

The library is a great place to hang out, and we welcome students to enjoy the space.  However, there are those who are using the space to study, so the level of noise should be respectful of those around you. 

​

Pick up after yourself instead of expecting a different human to do it.  

​

​

Respect for Books

You need to treat the library's materials well, or you will pay to replace any damaged books.  This means that you probably shouldn't shove a book to the bottom of your locker.  Avoid these "common" library mistakes as seen in the following video: Mr. Bean and Books

​

If books are put in the wrong place, we can’t easily locate them.  If books can't be found, we may as well not own them.  Do NOT attempt to re-shelve books yourself. Return a book to the librarian, to the return bin or leave on your table.   Do NOT place books on top of shelves.

​

Respect for Guidelines

Library books have a 4-week loan period.  You may renew the book longer if your are not finished.  If the book is late, then a fine will be incurred. 

 

If you come to the library from another class you will need a pass. 

 

All school guidelines apply in the library.

Chromebooks

  • Students may borrow a chromebook for use during the school day in the event their assigned chroembook is not available. 

  • Students will not be permitted more than 3 loans per semester.

  • Loaned chromebooks MUST be returned prior to the end of the school day. 

  • If a student's chromebook is damaged, it must reported to the librarian as soon as possible.  While it is being repaired a temporary loaner will be provided.
