Most reference materials can only be checked out overnight. All materials are available for renewal for as long as the student needs, with one exception: if the item is on hold for another student, items may only be renewed once.

Overdue / Late Items:

• Students with overdue materials may not check out items from the library until the overdue item is returned, renewed, or, if lost or damaged, paid for.
• Overdue books cause an immediate loss of checkout privileges until all items are returned or the fine is paid.

Internet Use:

• Computer use is a privilege, not a right. Student access to the network and the Internet is provided for educational purposes and research consistent with the school’s instructional goals.
• The Internet is available in the library computer lab. Any student will be allowed to use the Internet in the library, provided s/he has a STUDENT ID with approved Internet access.
• Students must check-in with Mrs. Hancock or Mrs. Anthony before using the computers. We will take your ID and tell you which computer to use.
• Do use the Internet to help with school assigned research ONLY.
• Do report any inappropriate ads or information that might appear on your screen.
• Do ask Mrs. Hancock or Mrs. Anthony to recommend web sites for research.
• Do save your work either to a disk or a flash (thumb, jump) drive. Items saved to the desktop are erased each afternoon.

Making Copies:

• Plan appropriately when using the computers; only the first 3 pages are free. Otherwise, each page costs 10 cents (or a boxtop)
• Located in the library is also a coin-operated copy machine. Copies are 10 cents each for letter size paper (8 x 11). The machine can also make double-sided copies or 11 x 17 sized copies.
