Our school library is open from 8:15 am to 4:15 pm every day. We operate on a flexible schedule and maintain an open-access policy. Students can visit the library at any time for book checkout or to work on assignments with a pass from their teacher.
Desktop computers allow students to print items needed for class assignments and school-related activities. Printing of personal items is not allowed. Printing costs 10 cents a page for black and white, and 25 cents a page for color and is due at the time of printing. We do not charge for testing tickets, scholarship forms, college essays, or work-related materials such as job applications.
Students are expected to:
- Respect each other and the materials in the library space
- Help keep the library organized
-
Return all books within two weeks from the date they were borrowed
-
Renew books if needed for a longer period
-
Pay for lost or damaged books. Students will be charged for the replacement cost of their library book if damaged or lost. Students may also replace the book if they prefer. Please consult with the librarian before choosing this option to make sure a suitable replacement is purchased.
-
We do not charge overdue fines.
Library Material overdue notices are emailed to the primary email address of record every Wednesday. The notices identify what materials the student has checked out that are overdue, materials that are lost and need to be returned or paid for, and materials that may need a refund. This email also identifies if the student has accumulated printing fees due at the time of printing if an exception was made, and it may even indicate a refund has been generated. See the resource below "How to Read Library Notices" if help is needed.
Please ensure the timely return of materials so that other students may benefit from our resources.
How to Read Library Notices
