About the library

Library Rules

1. Bring your student ID barcode or class schedule for library service. You may access your barcode on your cell phone or Chromebook via the student library status page.

2. Enter the LIBRARY quietly and orderly.

3. Follow directions!

4. Look for your book quietly in the shelves. If you take a book out please put it back in the same place so other students can find it.

5. Choose your new book(s) - you may check out 2 at a time. Check out is for up to two weeks. You may bring you books back early.

6. Overdue fines are calculated in the computer at 10¢ per day. We do not take money for library overdue fines, but we DO ask that you help someone on campus and bring back a signed note to clear your account. You may still check out a library book even if you owe an overdue fine, but you have to turn in any overdue book(s) first.

7. If you lose a book and pay to replace it, but the book is later found, you will receive a refund. Lost library books are $20.00 each, priced because they are not only hard cover but also library-bound. Lost textbooks are $70.00 each.

8. Library charges stay on your record for as long as you are enrolled at any district school. Charges for library or textbooks may hold up distribution of student records, diplomas and will keep students from participating in special school events. This can also prevent you from enrolling in college. Make sure to keep your record current!

Computer Use
Use of computers is a privilege, NOT a right! Please follow the Acceptable Use rules and school rules while using them. You are expected to access and view school appropriate material only. Games are allowed with permission only, and only after school. Students working on academics get first priority for library computers over students who want to use library computers for personal interest or fun.
