Books

A student may check out two books for a two week period. Books may be renewed. Students with overdue books may not check out additional items.

Periodicals

Periodicals may not leave the library due to the fragility of the magazines.

Overdue Notices

Overdue notices are published on a regular basis and sent to the students through their Homeroom classes. If a student has lost a book, the student will receive a statement giving a replacement cost of the book. All students are held responsible for materials checked out in their name. A student may not check out materials for another student.

Returning Materials

Students may return materials to the library at any time their teacher gives permission. Students must have a pass from that teacher.
