Using our Library

School protocols must be followed.

The Library is for quiet independent or collaborate school work.

The Cafeteria is for eating, drinking & noisy work.

Keep the Library clean by using garbage & recycling bins.

Please be courteous to students using the Library for educational pursuits.

Our Library features thousands of Fiction & Non Fiction titles, as well as computers, chrome books & a variety of other tech for students to borrow.

To be fair to ALL Medway students, items must be returned in good condition & on time.

A replacement or replacement fee is required for items that cannot be returned, or are badly damaged by TVDSB standards. See the Teacher-Librarian for details.

Books are loaned for 3 weeks and must be renewed.

An automatic courtesy reminder email is sent to each student's gotvdsb mail account.

Books that are damaged or not returned must be replaced.

Overdue items from other TVDSB schools can be returned to the Medway Library. The account will be cleared & the item returned on behalf of the student.

Books can be returned at circulation when signing out a new book.

Books can be placed in the Return Bin inside the Library by the exit.

Books can be placed in the secure Blue Metal Return Bin in Medway's main foyer. This is a locked bin that is accessible to students whenever the building is OPEN, including during the summer break.

Please make sure you have removed personal items from books, including sticky tabs etc, BEFORE returning books.

Please see the Teacher-Librarian if the book has been damaged or cannot be returned.
