Library Policies
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.
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
Stop at the table in the front of the library to check in with a library staff member upon arrival, so they can access your E-Hall pass. Check out upon leaving, so they can indicate you have left.
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 neither eat food nor drink beverages in the library except water.
The library is closed during 5th period. Students may not come to the library instead of going to lunch.
If you cannot/do not follow these expectations, you will be sent back to your class and your teacher notified.
Printing
You may connect your computer directly to one of the printers in the library. Printing is free, up to 6 black-and-white pages, if it is for assignments, scholarships, ACT or ASVAB or college applications, and school-related extracurricular activities.
Color printing is available for 25 cents per page. You must email or share your document with a librarian.
