Library Procedures

General Library Procedures

Students may check out a maximum of three (3) books. If a student has one overdue book they may check out just one other book at a time. If a student has more than one overdue book, they can put a new book on hold until they return it.
Circulation Period - Normal circulation period is four (4) weeks. At the end of the four weeks students should either return the book to the library or renew the book.
Renewing Books - To renew a book, the book must be brought into the library to be scanned OR students may access the library catalog online to renew a book.
Lost or Damaged Books must be paid for. In the case of a damaged book, the librarian will estimate the cost of repair or replacement. If a lost book shows up within the school year after it has been paid for, the book can be returned to the library for a refund.

Library W.I.N. resources are open to 7th and 8th graders who need the library to accomplish something that they cannot otherwise accomplish in their W.I.N., such as group project work, or students who need research support.
Students should ask for W.I.N. appointment passes from the core-area teacher who assigned the project they will be working on, preferably while they are in that teacher's class and before the end of 8th period.
Students who need direct support from Ms. Grosso (such as guidance with research or help using a MakerSpace tool for a core area project) must arrange with her to get a W.I.N. pass.
Students at the library for W.I.N. must be working with library resources the entire period.
Once a student arrives at W.I.N., they may not leave to go to other classrooms/locker until end of day dismissal.
Speaking volumes must be at a whisper to not disturb other students working during W.I.N.
At the end of W.I.N., students will be silent and seated to listen for announcements and dismissal. Before leaving, all students must clean up their work area.

Materials for our library will be selected based upon, but not limited to, the following criteria:
