Media Center

Media Center 

The mission of the Riverside High School Media Center is to ensure that students and staff develop critical thinking skills, are effective and ethical users of resources, ideas, and information, and are enthusiastic readers and lifelong learners. 

When is the Media Center Open? 

The Media Center is open from 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Hours are subject to change. Please check with the media center staff prior to making arrangements to stay before or after school past these times. 

Circulation 

Students may check out 10 books at a time. Please return them when you are finished. Books are circulated to students for three weeks. Overdue fines are $0.10 per item, per school day with a maximum of $5. Your due date is stamped or written on the inside cover of your book. Renew your book prior to the due date if you need more time to read it. Students are reminded of library obligations by notices that are distributed via the Media Center throughout the school year. If a student loses/damages a book, the student must pay to replace the book. 

Printing 

Students may print black and white for $0.10 per page and print color for $0.25 per page. Please be sure to bring cash with you when you print. We also offer the option to pre-purchase ten prints though a print punch card. Cards cost $1 and it is up to the student to keep up with the card. To redeem your prints, simply present your card to a staff member and we will mark off the number of pages printed. We cannot debit money from your lunch account. Students are responsible for all pages that they print. 

Library Etiquette 

When you visit the Media Center on a pass you are required to sign in and sign out with your student ID. Respect other patrons by working quietly and leaving your area clean and neat. Please return all books to the media center staff. Do not attempt to re-shelve your own books. Please do not eat or drink in the Media Center. Water bottles should remain closed and away from books and equipment. Please do not move any furniture without asking.
