    Flexible Schedule

    The library media center operates on an "OPEN ACCESS” (flexible) schedule.

    Checkout Procedures

    Students may check out up to two (2) books at a time.  All books checked out of the Media Center must be returned within two weeks. Students have multiple ways to check out materials. If they would like digital books, students will have a chance to check out Ebooks through SORA.

    The student is responsible for the replacement cost of any and all lost or damaged books.  If a book is damaged while in the possession of the patron the damage should be reported to the media specialist immediately, and the patron will be responsible for the replacement cost of the book.  If the damage is discovered prior to checkout, it must be reported to the media specialist immediately.  If the damage is not reported prior to check out the patron will be responsible for any and all damage discovered upon return of the book.

    All fees incurred due to damaged or lost books must be paid.  Once fees are paid the patron will be provided with a receipt.  If lost and/or damaged book fines are not paid, a hold will be placed on the student's account. Any lost book that is found can be returned to the media center for a full refund.  There is no refund for damaged books.
