Library Rules

Here at the COHS library we want you to visit often! We have taken great care in providing a space that is welcoming and comfortable for students. Our staff go to great strides to make it an environment that students feel they can relax and have a much needed mental break during their lunchtime or before and after school. In order to provide a safe, relaxing, and quiet space for students to read, work, or utilize computers we have rules that must be followed by all students.

RULES FOR CONDUCT

Behaviors we expect from STUDENTS in our library....

• Food and drink - No food or liquids, other than clear water, are allowed. You may leave food items at the front desk if needed.

• Electronic devices - According to school policies, the use of cell phones and other electronic devices are not allowed.

• Noise level - Small groups talking softly are acceptable. Groups are limited to the two-chair-per-table guideline. Appropriate noise level shall be determined by library staff.

• Physical behavior – Quiet behaviors that promote an academic environment are expected at ALL times in the library to maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning.

• Violations – Violations of any and/or all of the above will result in a student being asked to leave the library for the remainder of that day. A repeat offense will result in loss of additional library privileges or administrative consequences.

• PAWS Thursdays-You need a pass from us to come to the library to study or read during PAWS on Thursday mornings. This is not a time to sit around and socialize.
