Hours
The AHS Library is open from 8:00am to 4:30pm on Mondays through Fridays.
Passes
Students are welcome to visit the library during their free periods. We recommend signing up for a pass online in advance as seating is limited. The number of passes per period is determined by classes scheduled and staffing availability.
Students should report to their assigned locations for attendance if applicable before coming to the library and sign in on arrival.
Students do not need a pass to use the library before school, during lunch, or after school.
Circulation
Books circulate to students for three weeks at a time, and renewals are allowed as long as nobody else has requested the item. Students may borrow videos overnight and magazines for one week.
If you are wondering how many items you can borrow at one time, you are our kind of people and we should talk.
