- You must always sign in. You must have a pass during all instructional periods.
- You may not stay in the library if you have a "Restricted" period of any kind on your schedule. These periods are designed for you to leave the building for work, internships, etc... Any issues can be discussed with your counselor or administrator.
- If the library is closed for any reason, there will be a sign on the door. If we are closed, you may not stay in the library. Depending on the reason for closure, you may be able to come in and check out a book.
- No food or messy drinks are allowed in the library. If you are eating, you will be asked to leave.
- Library computers are monitored by library staff and technology staff. They should be used for academic purposes only, and all usage must follow the AACPS policy in the student handbook.
- Students are allowed to print in black & white and color with no fee. Please be mindful of the amount that you print; do not abuse the privilege.
- Please practice common courtesy - manage your volume, respect the space and others in it, clean up after yourself.
During class:
You must have an official pass (printed, not on a scrap of paper), from a teacher/staff member. It needs to be written in pen, and signed by the teacher. If there are multiple names on the pass, they must all be written in the same handwriting with the same pen. If library staff feels that the pass is suspicious, you may be denied or asked to get a new pass.
Your pass should always be from the teacher whose class you are supposed to be in. You may not get a pass from another teacher in order to avoid going to your assigned class.
Sign in after you give your pass to library staff. Please sign out when you leave. Library staff will sign your pass back to class, if necessary.
Grey & Black Blocks:
The library will be open for all Grey and Black blocks, unless there is an event that requires the entire library to be closed.
Entrance to the library is first-come, first-admitted until we have reached our capacity for the day. You do not need a pass to come to the library during blocks.
During Mustang blocks, you can access books, the makerspace, lounge areas, and computers.
The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.
