Flexible Schedule
The library media center operates on an "OPEN ACCESS” (flexible) schedule. During instructional time, students must have their signed pass from a teacher or administrator to visit the media center for research, test-taking, check out, etc. All teachers are encouraged to sign their class up for collaboratively planned, media center lessons routinely.
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.
Computer Usage
Teachers can send students (up to four at a time) to utilize the computers for research and/or class assignments only. Students will not be allowed to use the computers in the media center to play games. Teachers are encouraged to provide the research project dates and topics to the media specialist in advance so that adequate and effective assistance can be provided to the student(s).
