How to Check Out Books

On the top left corner there’s a Log In button, click on it! Your login information is:

Username: [rsu56 email address]

Password: [your last name in all lowercase]

Once you’re logged in, you can click on the search button to search for the title you want.

I found the book I want! Next, click on the little arrow button on the right of the title to open up the dropdown menu.

From there, click on the hand holding a book icon. That’s how you place a hold! Isn’t that handy. 

Once your hold is placed, I’ll check out the book and deliver it to your classroom. It will have a bookmark in it. Books must be returned on or before the due date. If you’d like to renew your book, email me.

Books are returned to the book drop, which is right next to the circulation desk. There’s a dictionary on top, be sure to check for the word of the day!

In Person

In-person checkouts can only be done from 8am-11:00am. After that, I won’t be in the building to check a book out for you. If you think of a book you’d like to check out before then, use the online catalogue to place a hold, and I’ll have the book ready for at the start of the next day.

If you want a book in the times listed above, come on down to the library and browse for yourself! If you already have a specific book in mind, it helps to use our online catalogue to find the call number so you can more easily find it on the shelf.

Once you’ve found the book on the shelf, bring it to the circulation desk. I’ll be there to check it out for you! Books must be returned on or before the due date. If you’d like to renew your book, email me!

Checkout Q&A

How many books can I check out?

3 maximum!

Can I return a book early?

Absolutely! If you finish with your book before the due date, just bring it to the book return and I’ll return it.

How many times can I renew a book?

That depends. If another student has put in a request to read the book you have checked out, you cannot renew it. If no one else wants the book, you can renew it up to 2 times.

What happens if I return a book late?

I will bother you about it until you either return it, or realize it’s lost.

What happens if I lose a book?

You’ll get a lot of emails from me asking you to make sure you’ve checked absolutely everywhere for the book. If you really can’t find it, you’ll have to pay to replace the book. Replacement costs vary from $10-50, so try your best to keep track of your books.
