Mission Statement:

 The mission of the Hillcrest High School library is to promote a positive reading experience, provide equal and ethical access to information, encourage critical thinking, and create lifelong readers and learners. 

Circulation: 

• Students can check out the number of books they want to be responsible for. 

• Books are circulated to students for 3 weeks. Students need to return the book by that day by dropping it in the book drop at the circulation desk or renew the book to avoid fines. 

• Graphic novels and comic books can only be kept for a week. They also cannot be renewed. 

• Overdue fines are $0.05 per item, per school day. Your due date is stamped on the inside cover of your book. Renew your book prior to the due date if you need more time to read it. 

• Any student who owes a book or a fine may check out one item at a time until the obligation is satisfied. 

• Students are reminded of library obligations by email throughout the year. 

Printing:

• You can print to the library printers from anywhere in the building.

• Media B&W

• Media02 - color

Library Etiquette:

• When you visit the library, you are required to have a SmartPass, and you will need to sign in using the Chromebook set up for signing in. 

• Respect other patrons by working quietly and leaving your area clean and neat. 

• Please return all books to the librarian or library clerk to be re-shelved. Do not attempt to re-shelve your own books. 

• No one is allowed to talk on the phone in the library. Anyone who chooses to talk on the phone in the library will be asked to leave. Multiple offenses will result in the loss of library privileges.
