Circulation policy
The PCE Library strives to make full use of library materials and services, while at the same time instituting a policy which promotes fair and equitable use. Students are invited to visit the PCE Library often and are encouraged to take their materials home. If checkouts cannot be conducted during classroom visit time, then students are encouraged to borrow and return at any time their teachers permit them to visit the library. Students who withdraw from the school/district will need to return all library items that are checked out as part of the withdrawal process.
