Library Behavior

    When you are in the library media center please remember that other students may be in there to read, study or take a test.  The library is not to be used for visiting or to catch up on what your friends are doing.  If you are not using appropriate behavior while in the library media center you will be asked to leave.
        It is your responsibility to bring all the materials that you will need to the library media center with you.
    This includes books, magazines, paper, pencils and pens.
 
 



Library Services

    The library media center provides a box near our book return in which you can return Public Library Books.  A Public Library staff member will pick up these books twice a week.  They will remove the fines for materials checked out by students if they are returned to this box.  The Public Library Staff asks that you return videotapes and special reserve materials directly to the library.
