After School Hours
The library is open after school Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00-3:00 unless there is a special meeting going on in the library. Students should sign up before the end of the day using the form on the circulation counter if they plan to use the library after school. They should have a pass from a teacher explaining the work that they will be doing in the library.
Computer Lab
The library supports 20 Apple desktops for use in teaching research, technology and web 2.0 skills. Teachers and students use the computers for class work, homework and for internet research.
Policies
Students may check out two books at a time if they returned their last book by its due date. Students wanting more than two books should check with the librarian and if they have shown responsible library behavior in the past, then more privileges will be given as needed and requested. Reference books may be checked out for one day. Students must pay for lost or damaged books. Students with overdue books may not check out new books until they have returned or renewed their late books or paid for them if lost. Books can be renewed as long as there is nobody on a waiting list for the book.
