How do students visit the library during school?

Students are allowed to visit the Library Media Center during their enrichment class or from their subject class. All students must have a pass from their teacher. Most students will be allowed to stay for 10 minutes in order to find, return, or exchange books. If students are performing research or typing, they are allowed to stay longer, provided they have a pass from their teacher assigning the work. These students may stay for the full class period. Students may charge their laptops if doing independent work.

How many books can a student check out and for how long?

Students may check out 2 books at a time for a period of two weeks. Books may be renewed. Books checked out for book reports can be renewed until the book report is complete. In order to renew an overdue book, students should email or speak to Mrs. Sloat. Students will not be fined for overdue books. The cost of lost or damaged items must be reimbursed to the media center. If there are any concerns about lost or damaged items please see Mrs. Sloat.

Can students use their computers in the media center to research or to type a paper?

Yes, as long as the student and at least one of his/her parent/guardian has signed and returned the school district computer use policy form
