Visiting the Library

• Students are always welcome to visit the library with a pass from their teacher.

• Students may also visit to check out books before 1st period and after 8th period.

Book Check Out

• Students, staff, and parents can check out up to 2 books from the library. If more are needed, see Dr. Cannell.

• The loan period for all books is 2 weeks. Books may be renewed if additional time is needed as long as the book is not on hold. 

• Students with 2 or more overdue books may not check out any more books. Additional items can be used in the library.

• Overdue notices will be sent periodically. Please use this as a friendly reminder to bring in outstanding items or renew materials you are still using.

Library Lunch

• Each hose is assigned two periods of library lunch per week.

• Students must request a pass to visit during library lunch. There are limited available spaces; request a pass early in the day.

• After eating lunch, come to the library and sign in.

• Each week, there will be one quiet lunch and one collaborative lunch for each house. This allows for a wide variety of activities to take place during the lunch period: reading, homework, computer use, board games, and more.
