Behavior

The library environment is a place of quiet productivity where all users show respect to one another.  Students will be doing research, working together in makerspaces, receiving instruction, or hearing a story.  Remember to keep voices low, walk at all times, and please ask for help if needed.  At the teacher's request, the class will be asked to get completely quiet through a backward count of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Students will respect library property including computers, books, and furniture.   After one warning for misbehavior, students are excluded from activities until they are asked to rejoin.  At the very last offense, students will be sent to the office to speak with administration.

Overdue and Damaged Materials

Students who have books overdue will receive a late notice.  Fines are assigned to any overdue books that students have kept for over a month.  When any books are overdue by one or more days, a student may not check out any books until the book(s) are returned.  A fee for the price of the book is also given for any damaged materials which are judged on a case by case basis.  Typically these are due to water bottle accidents. Books cannot be reshelved after having been wet due to mold growth.
