Overdue and Lost Materials
The Media Center will circulate overdue notices to students during the school year through the English classes. Fines will be assessed for late materials and are to be paid at the Circulation Desk of the AHS Library Media Center.
If a patron has lost a material they will be assessed the full amount of its cost for replacing it. This includes all resources circulated through the LMC.
Seniors are not allowed to check out for graduation until all fines to the Media Center have been paid. All fines collected are deposited in the library's activity fund account.
Circulation Policy
The AHS Library Media Center loans circulating materials to its patrons for different periods of time, depending on the type of resource it is. Patrons are expected to return items on or before their due date in order to make the item available for another patron.
At its discretion, the Media Center may choose to not provide access to any materials in its collections to any non-District persons or any District personnel or students who are not enrolled at Athens High School.
Technology equipment is available for checkout from the library for classroom use by teachers and staff. Staff and teachers may check out this equipment for off campus use.
