MEDIA CENTER
The Media Center is open from 7:45 a.m. until 3:25 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday the media center remains open until 4:45. Students are welcome in the library but are expected to utilize print and non-print materials in a manner that reflects consideration for those patrons who need a quiet environment for research and study. Students who come to the Media Center during the school day must complete an attendance form at the beginning of each period. Students are not permitted into the Media Center without the authorization of their assigned teacher. Students are expected to remain in the Media Center throughout the entire period. If an emergency arises, the student must obtain permission and a pass from the librarian before leaving the Media Center. Students who wish to avail themselves of library media services during the lunch periods must obtain a pass from the librarian before the lunch period and present it to the lunchroom proctor.
Eating is not permitted. Patrons are expected to bring their own paper, pen, pencils, and other related supplies. Students are expected to place chairs and tables in order before leaving and are expected to leave their area litter free. No card playing will be allowed.
Materials to be borrowed should be brought to the Circulation Desk. Student identification cards serve as their library cards. Students should not borrow books for their friends.
Works of fiction circulate for a month and non-fiction for two weeks. In some cases, reference books may be borrowed overnight. A photocopier is available to photocopy magazine articles and other non-circulating materials at five cents per page.
Usage During Lunch
Students are able to use the Media Center during lunches. Students need to secure a pass from the cafeteria and follow all procedures. If students violate the rules, their pass privilege can be revoked.Â
