Library Check Out Policies

Borrowing Materials
  • Students MUST have a current Student ID card with them in order to check out materials from the library.
  • There is no limit on how many books may be borrowed at a time.  However, please be reasonable about how many books you can handle at one time. 
  • Students who have overdue materials or owe fines are not able to borrow materials from the library until materials are returned and fines are paid.
  • Library books are checked out for a period of three weeks.  If a book is needed for a longer period of time, it may be renewed up to 2 additional times as long as no one else has requested the item.  Students must have their Student ID cards with them to renew books. 
  • A student must NEVER check items out for another student.  The borrower is ALWAYS held responsible for items checked out under their name.
  • Reference books and magazines must be used in the library only and are not available for check out. 
Loan Periods:
 
Regular Library Materials:
Library books are checked out for a period of three weeks.  If books are needed for a longer period of time, they may be renewed up to 2 additional times as long as no one else has requested the item.  Students must have their Student ID cards with them to renew books.

Returning Materials
  • Library materials can be returned through the slot in the side of the circulation desk or handed to the librarian.

Important
 
At the end of the school year, any books that have not been returned will be marked as lost and students will be billed.  Any unpaid fees or fines will be carried over to the next school year.  Students will not be able to check out any mateials until all obligations have been met.  Seniors owing books or fines will not receive their diplomas and transcripts until all obligations have been fulfilled.
