Book Return
There is a book return cart near the circulation desk as students enter the library. Students may return library books at any time the library is open by leaving them on the book return cart.
Computers and Printing
The library has laptop computers and tablets available for student and staff use. All of the devices are linked to the office copier. Any student using the library devices must have a signed computer user agreement on file and comply with the school's acceptable use policy.
Circulation Procedures
Books and other resources are available for use by SES students and staff, as well as members of the Sharon community. A patron barcode is created for all SES students and staff members. Parents and community members may request to be assigned a patron barcode.
Library patrons are responsible for returning library materials on time and in good condition. Overdue notices are issued at intervals throughout the year, and at the close of the school year for all other patrons. There are no overdue fines; however, if an item is lost or damaged while in a patron’s possession, it should be replaced, either by paying the full price of the item; replacing the item; or donating a similar item.
The librarian reserves the right to recall an item, or limit the number checked out, in order to maintain the availability of popular or needed titles. Students with overdue items may be restricted from checking out books until the overdue item is returned. In that case, there are a variety a books from which students may use while in the library and there is bin of deprocessed books that students may use until they are able to return or replace books.
Students may check out one book for each grade level that they are in. For example, first graders can check out one book each week, while sixth graders can check out six books. Materials are due 14 days after they are checked out. Staff materials can be checked out for 30 days.
