Checkout Policies

Students

Students may borrow up to 7 library items total.

Students may check out books for 2 weeks at a time. If no one else has put a hold on it, a student may renew it for another 2 weeks. Reference books may be checked out for 3 days. Magazines may not be checked out.

Holds

If you want a book that someone else has checked out, you can put a hold on it on your Alexandria account. If you don't know how to do this, ask a library staff member.

Overdue Fines

The library no longer charges overdue fines but please return or renew your books on time.

If you are absent on the day an item is due, talk to a library staff member about this once you return to school. Be sure to bring in your overdue library books.

You can also log into your Alexandria account and see what books you have checked out. Ask a library staff member if you don't know how to do this.

Faculty/Staff

Teachers do not have a limit on items and check-out period, as long as no other teacher needs the same library materials. Only teachers may also check out videos and audiovisual equipment.

Library Expectations for Behavior

• Come to the circulation desk to check in with the librarians upon arrival so they can access your Epass. Check out upon leaving, so they can close out your pass.

• Be productive and engaged in school-related work.

• Be polite and respectful.

• Be prepared. Do not ask to do errands, make phone calls, go to your locker, etc.

• Students may not eat food nor drink beverages in the library except water.

Lunch Expectations

• Students must get a Lunch Pass from a library staff member in the morning. Only 5 Lunch Passes will be available for each lunch each day.

• Students may not eat lunch in the library. Please eat prior to coming down

If you cannot/do not follow these expectations, you will be sent back to your class and your teacher notified.
