Passes

The library is currently closed for in-person student use due to the pandemic.

Students may come to the library by signing up online in advance. The best time to sign up is before school, as seating is available on a first come, first served basis. 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. Please sign in on arrival.

Students do not need to sign up to use the library before school, during lunch, or after school.

Library Behavior

Students are expected to follow all school rules for acceptable behavior, and to treat library materials, space, staff, and other patrons with respect. Disruptive students will be asked to leave.

Computers are available for research and school work. Violations of the Responsible Use Policy (RUP) may result in losing library computer privileges.

Food and Drink

No food or drink is allowed. Water is allowed in closed containers.
