-With guidance from the American Association of School Libraries
HOURS:
The Library Media Center is open from 7:15 am to 4:30 pm unless announced otherwise to students at school.
LIBRARY VISITS:
All students visiting the library media center must have a pass unless between classes or before school or after school. The library is to be used for quiet research, reading, or collaboration with other students. Food, drink, backpacks, and gym bags are not permitted.
STUDY HALL VISITS:
High school students wanting to use the library during their study hall must receive a red pass from the librarian before the class change prior to the mod you would like to visit.
CHECKING OUT MATERIALS:
Students must have their ID cards to check out materials.
Most materials are checked out for a period of two weeks.
Items may be renewed if there is not a Hold on the item.
Items may be renewed online using the Clear Fork catalog by logging into the student’s account or renewed in person.
Reference books may be used in the LMC or checked out the last period of the day and are due back the next morning before school begins.
OVERDUE LIBRARY MATERIALS:
