Romona Library Policies:
There is no limit on the number of books teachers may check out
Teachers may check out materials for an unlimited amount of time (after 2 months, materials will need to be renewed)
Please email me the list of topics or books you are covering in class and I will be happy to pull the books and check them out for you. I will email you when the books are ready.
Please return library books to the library when you are finished using the books. If you would like to pass the books along to another teacher, please email me or leave the books on the circulation desk (not in the book drop) with a note of the teacher's name that would like to check out the books.
All books and materials must be checked out from the library. This prevents time lost looking for materials that show up in the catalog as being available in the library. If no one is available to check out the materials, please leave a note with your name and the barcode numbers of the materials you are taking.
THANK YOU!
