Hey pirates! There have been some updates with the library here at Cyprus, here are some pieces of information you need to know. Book circulations have started, which means that students are now welcome into the library to check out books. The library is open to students before school, during lunch, and after school until 3pm. If you have no fines on your account you are allowed to check out up to 5 books at a time. 

As many of you have seen there is a new pop-up window open towards the back of the library. That window is going to be used for Chromebook and charger rental soon, but for now it is a space where students can go with their class to check out textbooks. 

The library staff have implemented a new policy for Chromebooks and chargers this school year. Every student gets 4 “free” passes to check an item out per year, in an interview Natalie MacDonald stated, “Once the 4 times are up, we require a phone to borrow an item”. When turned in, the staff will call the phone to ensure it is operating and connected to a phone number, only then will they accept it and lock it in a phone locker. 

There is a limited stock of chromebooks and chargers this year so if you are looking to borrow an item it is best to come before school to grab one. MacDonald stated, “We are finding they (chromebooks and chargers) are all gone by about 2nd period”. Again the library is only open during certain times of the day. It is understood that things happen and you could get to school late, but it is best to practice coming to school prepared.
