Conduct in the Library

Students are always welcome in any of our Library Media Centers as long as staff are present and available. Students are expected to conduct themselves according to school rules and observing the rights of others by using quiet voices. At no time should students use computers without an adult staff member present. Computers use is a privilege, and students are expected to adhere to the policies adopted by the South Tama Community School District.
