Library Mission
The library media center assists students in developing the skills to utilize information effectively and is an essential part of teaching and learning. Flexible access allows students to research, do presentations, tutor, study, and read.
Library Policies and Procedures
The library media center has a general rule of respect: respect for other students, respect for staff, respect for property, and respect for safety/well-being.
Visiting the Library Media Center (outlined in Student Handbook):
Students may come to the library with a pass for book checkout/return, using a computer, reading, making up quizzes/tests, or performing other school work. If a student is not visiting with their class, they must sign in at the Circulation Desk.
Students are to exhibit proper conduct and behavior while working in the library media center.
Eating and drinking in the library is prohibited.
Staff may sign up for the library space online with the media center sign up calendar (under the "Staff" tab on the DHS website). Please contact Ms. Soult if you would like a collaborative library or research lesson for your class, or if you require technology setup prior to your visit.
Book Checkout and Return:
Books may be checked out for 15 days on student accounts. If you need more time with a book, visit the library or contact Ms. Soult to renew. Each renewal is 15 days, provided there are no holds on the title.
Holds may be placed by students on Destiny or with Ms. Soult.
Remote students may place holds to be delivered to the main office. Standard check out terms and renewal terms apply.
